It is important to follow the recommended dosage and precautions to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on the use of this medication.
Pharmacological Properties:
Diclofenac, a phenylacetic acid derivative, exerts its pharmacological effects by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis. This results in anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic actions.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:
Dicloberl-100 suppositories offer a targeted approach to pain relief with rapid onset of action due to rectal administration. This route of administration may be advantageous for patients with gastrointestinal sensitivities or difficulties in swallowing oral medications.
