Diclofenac is in a family of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These particular drugs are used help reduce inflammation, joint pain or stiffness and swelling of the muscles.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID or NSAID). This medicine works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Diclofenac is used to treat mild to moderate pain or the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The Cataflam brand of this medicine is also used to treat menstrual cramps.
Diclofenac is a Non-steroidal compound with marked anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. The Inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis, which has been experimentally demonstrated, is considered that has an important relationship with its mechanism of action. Prostaglandins play a role essential in the appearance of inflammation, pain, and fever.
Diclofenac is used to treat the following conditions:
- Chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylopoietic spondyloarthritis, osteoarthritis),
- Extra-articular rheumatism,
- Acute gout attacks,
- Period pains,
- Post-traumatic inflammation
Always use this anti-inflammatory medication exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.
Remember to take your medicine.
Use in adults and children over 14 years
The recommended dose for milder cases is 100 mg (one tablet twice a day). Do not exceed the dose of 150 mg (3 tablets) a day. The total daily dose should be divided into 2 or 3 divided doses.
In menstrual pain, the daily dose, to be adjusted individually, is 50-200 mg (1 to 4 tablets). An initial dose of 50-100 mg (1 to 2 tablets) will be administered and if necessary it will be increased in the following menstrual cycles. Treatment should be initiated when the first symptoms appear. Depending on its intensity, it will continue for a few days.
Administration form
The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water or other liquid, without dividing or chewing them. Take diclofenac preferably before meals or on an empty stomach.
