What is Diclofenac Sodium?
Active Ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium
Diclofenac Sodium Injection is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage mild to moderate acute pain, such as pain related to arthritis, joint pain, gout, or injuries in cows, dogs, goats, horses, pigs and sheep. This medication may be used as a monotherapy or with other medicines to treat moderate to severe pain.
Diclofenac is a phenylacetic acid derivative. As an NSAID, it displays analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Though the exact mechanism of action is not fully known, it is known to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2).
