PHARMACOLOGY 

Pharmacodynamics 
Diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal compound, exhibits pronounced
antirheumatic, anti-
inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. 

As with other NSAIDs, its mode of action is not known; however, its
ability to inhibit 
prostaglandin synthesis may be involved in the anti-inflammatory
effect. 

In rheumatic diseases, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic
properties of diclofenac elicit a 
clinical response characterised by relief from signs and
symptoms such as pain at rest, pain 
on movement, morning stiffness, and swelling of the joints, as well
as by an improvement in 
function. 

In addition, clinical studies have revealed that in primary
dysmenorrhoea diclofenac is 
capable of relieving the pain and reducing the extent of bleeding.
