Description
Pharmacological action
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a derivative of phenylacetic and anti-inflammatory drugs, has an anti-inflammatory effect. Indiscriminately inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and cyclooxygenase 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, reduces the number of prostaglandins in the focus of inflammation.
Most effective for inflammatory pain. Like all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the drug has an antiplatelet effect. In rheumatic diseases, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of diclofenac significantly reduce the severity of pain, morning stiffness, swelling of the joints, which improves the functional state of the joint. With injuries in the postoperative period, diclofenac reduces pain and inflammatory edema.

Pain in the spine, neuralgia, myalgia, arthralgia, pain and inflammation after operations and injuries, pain in gout, migraine, algodismenorrhea, pain in adnexitis, proctitis, colic (biliary and renal), pain in infectious and inflammatory diseases ENT organs.
For local use: inhibition of myosis during cataract surgery, prevention of cystoid macular edema associated with removal and implantation of the lens, inflammatory processes of the eye of non-infectious nature, post-traumatic inflammatory process with penetrating and non-penetrating injuries of the eyeball.
