Description
Active Ingredient
The main active component of this drug is Diclofenac Potassium, which is a nonsteroidal benzene acetic acid derivative with anti-inflammatory activity. It binds and chelates both isoforms of cyclooxygenase, thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to pro-inflammatory-prostaglandins. It also inhibits COX-2-mediated tumor angiogenesis. When inhibiting COX-2, diclofenac may be effective in relieving pain and inflammation; when inhibiting COX-1, it may produce unacceptable gastrointestinal side effects.
