Abstract
Diclofenac is a potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic compound with good antipyretic and uricosuric properties. It is one of the most potent inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase known. It shows a favourable therapeutic ratio considering its efficacy, and proved superior to the reference drugs in terms of gastro-intestinal tolerability. All metabolites are clearly less potent than the parent compound.
