Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Diclofenac Sodium 25 mg
Mechanism of Action
Diclofenac Sodium inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemical mediators responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Rectal administration ensures effective absorption, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, making it suitable for patients with oral intolerance.
