Mode of actions
Diclofenac is a common NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) belonging to the phenylacetic acid group. It strongly reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and lowers fever. Diclofenac works by blocking the enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, which are needed to make prostaglandins, substances that cause inflammation and pain. It may also help by reducing the activity of certain immune cells (neutrophils and lymphocytes), lowering inflammation-related chemicals (cytokines), and decreasing the movement of inflammatory cells to injury sites.
