How long after my last diclofenac injection (3) can I take Ibuprom max? Will the anti-inflammatory effect of Ibuprom be as effective as the diclofenac injection?

After such a time, it is safe. Please note, however, that the use of drugs such as Ibuprofen is considered temporary and it is not recommended to take them as a long-term therapy. If the pain/inflammation persists after a series of injections, I would advise you to consult a doctor.
Thank you very much for the information. I've read that diclofenac accumulates in synovial fluid for a long time. Up to several days. I had my last injection about 30 hours ago, I understand that in such a situation taking Ibuprom will not cause any interaction?

Diclofenac is completely eliminated from the body 6 hours after administration. After this time, if necessary, you can take oral painkillers.
These drugs belong to the same group of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). If Diclofenac was administered as an injection, the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions is excluded. On the other hand, the risk of other side effects increases: skin lesions, impaired liver and kidney function, decreased heart function, decreased blood clotting.

Certainly, the drug given in the form of an injection will work faster, stronger due to the dose. If treatment in the form of injections does not bring the desired results, I encourage you to consult a doctor.

One of the analgesics that do not interact with Diclofenac and that is available in pharmacies without a prescription is Pyralgine, which contains metamizole. It has analgesic, antipyretic and slightly relaxant properties, but does not have anti-inflammatory properties.
