Diclotal Injection 3ml is administered either intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously.

Diclotal Injection 3ml contains Diclofenac (25 mg), which has the following mechanism of action:

• Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis: Diclofenac blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for creating prostaglandins - lipid compounds that mediate pain, inflammation and fever.

• Analgesic Effect: By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, diclofenac effectively decreases pain signals at sites of injury or inflammation.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effect: The reduction in prostaglandin synthesis also decreases capillary dilation and permeability at inflamed sites.

• Antipyretic Effect: Diclofenac can help manage fever symptoms by inhibiting the production of fever-inducing prostaglandins.

• Keep it away from light to prevent degradation.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the medicine, as extreme temperatures can affect its potency.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

• Intake a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and walnuts, as they are known to reduce inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercises such as stretching, walking, and swimming can help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
