Hamare expert ka khayal (Verdict)

Both work. Airtal (Aceclofenac) tends to be slightly easier on the stomach and has twice-daily dosing. Voren (Diclofenac) is cheaper and has the topical gel option which is useful for localized joint pain. For chronic use, neither should be taken daily without medical supervision — both carry NSAID class risks.
