Description

Diclofenac Retard Pharmacodynamics
The drug Diclofenac contains sodium diclofenac, a substance of non-steroidal structure, which has a pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. The main mechanism of action of diclofenac, established in studies, is considered to be inhibition of the synthesis of rostaglandins, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever.
In vitro diclofenac sodium in concentrations equivalent to those achieved when used in humans does not inhibit cartilage proteoglycan biosynthesis.
In rheumatic diseases anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of diclofenac provide clinical effect, characterized by a significant reduction of severity of such manifestations as pain at rest and during movement, morning stiffness and joint swelling, as well as improvement of functional status.
In post-traumatic and post-operative inflammatory phenomena diclofenac quickly relieves pain (both at rest and during movement), reduces inflammatory swelling and edema of postoperative wound.
This dosage form is especially suitable for patients who require a long-term dosage of 100 mg per day.
