Cataflam 50Mg 20Tab

Cataflam is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation resulting from conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and headaches. Cataflam works by reducing pain and fever by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body.

Cataflam contains the active ingredient Diclofenac Potassium, which works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Cataflam effectively helps alleviate pain and inflammation. Cataflam is used to treat a variety of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and menstrual pain.
