How does the Diclofenac 2.5% cream work?
Diclofenac 2.5% cream is a topical anti-inflammatory medication that works by targeting the root causes of pain and inflammation in the affected area. Its active ingredient, diclofenac, belongs to a group of medicines known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Here’s how it works:
Reduces inflammation: Diclofenac inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for triggering inflammation, swelling, and pain. By blocking these chemicals, the cream helps reduce discomfort effectively.
Localised action: Unlike oral medications, Diclofenac 2.5% Cream is applied directly to the area of pain or inflammation. This allows the active ingredient to penetrate the skin and target the affected tissues, providing relief exactly where it’s needed.
Minimises side effects: Because the cream is applied topically, it avoids the systemic absorption associated with oral NSAIDs, reducing the risk of common side effects such as stomach irritation or gastrointestinal issues.
Fast absorption: The cream’s fast-absorbing formula ensures that the active ingredient quickly reaches the site of inflammation, offering prompt and effective relief.
Whether you’re managing osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or minor muscle injuries, Diclofenac 2.5% cream offers a precise, convenient, and effective solution to help you regain comfort and mobility.
