Indications of Clofenac 12.5
Pharmacology
Diclofenac Sodium is an anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID). It also contains uricosuric properties. Diclofenac works by inhibiting prostaglandin production, which is a key factor in the development of inflammation, discomfort, and fever. When taken with or after a meal, diclofenac is swiftly and thoroughly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. After consumption, peak plasma concentrations are obtained in an average of 2 hours. It is 99.7% bound to plasma proteins at therapeutic dosages. Diclofenac is metabolized in the liver and goes through a first-pass process.
Dosage & Administration
Adults should take a 50 mg diclofenac suppository 2-3 times per day. The daily maximum dose is 150 mg.
