Description
Diclofenac is a potent Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) with marked analgesic and antipyretic properties. The actions of Diclofenac appear to be associated principally with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Diclofenac inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cycloxygenase enzyme. It also has some uricosuric effect. Lidocaine is the most widely used local anesthetic drug. It acts more rapidly and is more stable than most other local anesthetics. It is a very useful surface anesthetic. Like other local anesthetic, Lidocaine impairs the generation and conduction of the nerve impulses by slowing depolarization.
Diclofenac is a potent non-steroidal compound with pronounced antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic properties. Diclofenac inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of prostaglandin precursors (endoperoxides) from arachidonic acid. It is indicated for Rheumatic Arthritis, Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Low back pain and other acute musculoskeletal disorders such as periarthritis (e.g. frozen shoulder) tendinitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, sprains, strains and dislocations, Ankylosing spondylitis, Acute gout, Acute trauma and fractures, control of pain and inflammation in orthopedic, dental & other minor surgery. Juvenile chronic arthritis, Post-operative pain, the pain of rectal colic and other uses.
