An Overview of Dolobid Side Effects
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with
Dolobid® (
diflunisal); but not everyone who takes the drug will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in many cases, they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

- Your general health
- The dose of Dolobid taken
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Current medicines you may be currently taking.
