Description

Diclofenac is a pain-relieving medicine. It is used to treat pain, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and acute musculoskeletal injuries. It belongs to the class of medication called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID). The medicine works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. It is also used in hospital settings to prevent or treat pain following an operation. The medications work by blocking the action of the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which is required for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.

Do not self-medicate the medicine, take it as per the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor. Diclofenac injection should be only given by a doctor or nurse. Your healthcare provider will administer the right dose. Some people may experience side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and injection site reactions. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Diclofenac or similar medicines. 

Uses of Diclofenac Injection 

Diclofenac is an NSAID that exhibits anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic activities. It involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) and it is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis in vitro. Prostaglandins sensitize afferent nerves and potentiate the action of bradykinin in inducing pain and mediators of inflammation. Diclofenac is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis; its mode of action may be due to a decrease in prostaglandins in peripheral tissues. Diclofenac is commonly used in the treatment of:

  • Flare-ups of joint or back pain
