How It Works
- Different types of pain or inflammatory diseases can be treated with diclofenac.
- Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes are the basis for how diclofenac works. This blocks the production of prostaglandins (prostaglandins elevate body temperature and make nerve endings more sensitive to pain transmission).
- Diclofenac is a member of the NSAID drug class (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
