Detailed Answer:
Hello,

welcome to the 'Ask a Doctor' service!

The maximum dosage for diclofenac is 150mg per day divided in 2-3 doses, that is 50mg three times a day or 75mg twice a day. Please keep in mind that this drug may cause various side effects particularly when used in full doses like gastrointestinal bleeding or upper abdominal pain (of burning quality usually), increased blood pressure, liver damage, renal damage, allergies, etc.

I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Kind Regards!
