Taking diclofenac I recently was contacted by the rheumatologist saying that
the liver test needs to be redone and I should stop the diclofenac until
then. I've had liver tests come back with odd results before, but not since
taking this drug. Anyone know if it's a problem or a common glitch?

Thanks for the info.

I've taken it for years and never this problem. My only elevated liver panel
was while taking MTX. Do you take milk thistle? This may help if you
continue to have problems.

Never heard of it.
I'll see how the next one comes out and then look inot it. I've had doctors
call for repeats o liver function tests before (berfore taking diclofenac),
but they always turn out all right on retest and and no reason was ever
given for the discrepency.
