Diclofenac

Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).Specific formulations may include diclofenac sodium, diclofenac potassium, or diclofenac epolamine, along with various excipients (inactive ingredients) depending on the route of administration (e.g., tablet, topical gel, injection).

Treatment of mild to moderate pain, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Relief of pain associated with menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).

Reduction of inflammation and fever (in some formulations).

Painvoid Injection (Diclofenac) inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, diclofenac provides analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory effects.
