Diclofenac Sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) which is used for reducing pain and inflammation in any part of body. This is an extremely effective medicinal drug which can efficiently control the pain caused in conditions like sprain, strain, arthritis, gout, migraine, etc. Diclofenac Sodium is also capable of reducing dental pain and pain caused by surgical operations.

The generic name of Diclofenac Sodium is Voltaren. This medicinal drug has exhibited a high degree of analgesic, antipyretic anti-inflammatory activities in various pharmacological models. This drug has proven to be quite effective in treating pain, redness, warmth and swelling caused in medical conditions like arthritis. Food And Drug Administration (FDA) in 2007 approved the suitability of this drug in alleviating the symptoms of arthritis.

Diclofenac Sodium works by slowing down the activity of cyclooxygenase enzyme, which is responsible for the synthesis of compounds like prostaglandins which are responsible for causing pain, fever and inflammation.
