Short-term treatment of acute pain and inflammation such as postoperative pain, musculoskeletal pain, acute low back pain, renal colic, acute exacerbations of arthritis when oral therapy is not suitable.

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and thereby decreasing pain, inflammation and fever.

For intramuscular (deep IM) injection or slow IV infusion/injection only, as prescribed by a doctor. Usually given for short duration; switch to oral/rectal forms as soon as possible. Do not self-administer; follow dose, dilution (for infusion), and frequency advised by healthcare professional.
