How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (diclofenac sodium). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

Diclofenac has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties.

The mechanism of action of diclofenac, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood but involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2).

Half-life2 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 10 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How it leaves the body

Little or no free unchanged diclofenac is excreted in the urine.

With food

Food has no significant effect on the extent of diclofenac absorption.
