Olfen 50 Mg gel
Olfen gel contain Diclofenac, which is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This medicine works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase which causes pain and inflammation.
NSAIDs inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and-2 which are the enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins (PGs). PGs contribute to inflammation and pain signaling.
Olfen has antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
