Catafast 50Mg 9 Sachets

Catafast is a medication used to relieve pain and inflammation. It belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and contains the active ingredient Diclofenac Potassium. It is used to treat conditions such as joint pain, back pain, and headaches.

Diclofenac Potassium works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX), which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation.
