Profesor Rovere suggests

We ask him about information on use of diclofenac endovenoso, because of a consultation that our friend, Dr. Villarreal ,carried out us. He answer us that, "inBritish National Formulary an excellent source of information (the English People are among the most serious in themes of medicines), in the Edition 50, of September 2005, figure the use of diclofenac IV. Clearly, a thing is to employ diclofenac by way IV continuing the indications of the BNF and another thing is what habitually we see here. To descend information of the BNF is necessary to be registered free. Always I consult it and I recommend. All the sections are good, interactions is fantastic, verify it." Note: Really is very good and recommendable.
