Generic Dolobid: An Overview

Dolobid® (diflunisal) is a medication that has been licensed to treat several conditions. Some Dolobid uses include:
 
  • Pain relief. Dolobid can relieve pain following a procedure, as well as pain caused by straining a muscle or inflammation in a tendon (tendonitis) or bursa (bursitis). Dolobid can also be used to treat general pain, such as lower back pain, neck pain, or foot pain.
     
  • Relief of osteoarthritis symptoms.
