Pharmacology of Voligel Gel 50gm

A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug called diclofenac sodium has anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties (NSAID). Additionally, it has uricosuric qualities. Diclofenac works by preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are essential for the emergence of inflammation, discomfort, and fever. Diclofenac is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken with or after a meal. Peak plasma concentrations are attained two hours after consumption, on average. At therapeutic doses, it is 99.7% bound to plasma proteins. Diclofenac undergoes a first-pass metabolization process in the liver.
