I asked in my local chemist if there was a generic version? They actually looked it up and said no.

Diclofenac sodium (or potassium) tablets?
POM now, and almost impossible to get in UK (withdrawn as otc due to heart issues) and advice from NICE.

Diclofenac diethylammonium (aka Voltarol Emugel):
I've not found that in a generic form so far.
Just shop around for the best prices in the two strengths it's available in?

Difelene gel available at pharmacies in Thailand or about £1.50 per tube. I see online there is a supplier with no shipping costs.
