CAS 15307-86-5: Diclofenac
Description:Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, compounds involved in inflammation and pain signaling. Diclofenac is typically administered in various forms, including oral tablets, topical gels, and injections, making it versatile for treating conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, and postoperative pain. The substance is known for its relatively rapid onset of action and effectiveness in managing acute and chronic pain. However, it may also be associated with gastrointestinal side effects, cardiovascular risks, and potential kidney issues, particularly with long-term use. Its chemical structure features a phenylacetic acid derivative, contributing to its pharmacological properties. Diclofenac is widely prescribed, but its use should be monitored to mitigate adverse effects, especially in patients with pre-existing health conditions.
