Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Capsules

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic derived from phenylacetic acid. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase, thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. At the same time, it can also promote the combination of arachidonic acid and triglycerides, reduce the concentration of free arachidonic acid in cells, and indirectly inhibit the synthesis of leukotrienes. Diclofenac sodium is a stronger non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its inhibitory effect on prostaglandin synthesis is stronger than that of aspirin and indomethacin. Non-clinical toxicology study: Oral administration of diclofenac sodium to rats at 2 mg/kg per day, long-term observation, no increase in tumor incidence was found. In a two-year study on mice, 2 mg/kg was used daily, and no tumor-prone tendency was found. Various mutation studies have not found that diclofenac sodium induces gene mutations. Rats were given 4 mg/kg per day, and no infertility occurred in both males and females.
