About this product
Diclopinda 12.5mg is a medical suppository that contains the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, a member of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. Diclofenac works by inhibiting specific enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenases (COX), which reduces the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation. This product is primarily used to alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and menstrual cramps. It is an ideal choice for patients who have difficulty taking medications orally or who require rapid pain relief.
