Medicine Description dolphin 25mg
Dolphin 25mg Supp is a medication that contains diclofenac sodium, which operates primarily by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). This inhibition reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators involved in inflammation and pain. By lowering prostaglandin levels, diclofenac effectively mitigates inflammatory responses and alleviates pain associated with various musculoskeletal disorders. Furthermore, the medication provides antipyretic effects by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, leading to a reduction in fever.
