Take GOZA exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical dose for pain or primary dysmenorrhea is 50 mg three times daily.

Important cautions

Do not take GOZA if you are allergic to diclofenac, aspirin, or any other NSAID, or if you have a history of asthma attacks, hives, or allergic reactions after taking aspirin or NSAIDs. Use with caution if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, a history of stomach ulcers, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (especially in late pregnancy). Talk to your doctor before taking GOZA if you take blood thinners, have bleeding problems, or are over 65. This medicine may increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and serious stomach bleeding. Follow your doctor's instructions for monitoring.
