Medicine Description olfen-tablets 25mg
Olfen Tablets Analgesic & Anti-inflammatory | 25mg and 50mg is a medication that contains diclofenac sodium, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Diclofenac sodium works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). This inhibition leads to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, diclofenac sodium effectively alleviates pain, reduces swelling, and improves joint function, making it beneficial in managing various inflammatory conditions.
