Alcohol and Diclofenac: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Alcohol and Diclofenac together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Alcohol and Diclofenac. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

4 studies naming Alcohol and Diclofenac.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Controlled Release of Lidocaine-Diclofenac Ionic Liquid Drug from Freeze-Thawed Gelatin/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Transdermal Patches.

AAPS PharmSciTech · 2019 · PMID 31650263

“The high drug release values of both lidocaine and diclofenac were controlled by the gelatin/poly(vinyl alcohol) transdermal patch. The patch showed good stability over the study period of 3 months when kept at 4°C or under ambient temperature.”

Maneewattanapinyo et al. · From the abstract

Names both Alcohol and Diclofenac in its title.

Differential effects of diclofenac and aspirin on serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase elevations in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Arthritis and rheumatism · 1993 · PMID 8507222

Clinical TrialMeta-AnalysisRandomized Controlled Trial

“This study demonstrates a powerful method for performing meta-analysis, using available individual patient data to examine numerous factors that may affect an outcome of interest. In this case, mild elevations of SGOT were examined and found to be related to baseline SGOT levels, diclofenac use (in OA), and aspirin use (in RA).”

Furst et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Alcohol and Diclofenac together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Alcohol, Diclofenac, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
