Mechanism of Action Diclofenac Sodium 75mg/ml
Diclofenac acts by competitively blocking the prostaglandin-forming enzymes, which have two well-known variants, cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. These prostaglandins, which enhance fever, pain, and inflammation, are shown to be decreased effectively by diclofenac due to their interference with the production of both.
