Medicine Description flector 50mg
Flector 50 mg 9 sachets is a medication that contains diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It primarily functions by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which are crucial in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their synthesis, Flector effectively diminishes the inflammatory response in affected areas, leading to a decrease in pain and swelling. This mechanism allows for improved mobility and relief from discomfort associated with musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
