Mechanism of action
Diclofenac is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. It also appears to reduce intracellular concentrations of free arachidonate in leucocytes. Its potency is greater than indomethacin, naproxen etc.
Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild-to-moderate pain, and helps to relieve symptoms of arthritis (eg, osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain.
