How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Diclofenac Sodium Delayed Release). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

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).
