Dicloran SR Tablet 100mg contains Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling in various conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, and joint disorders. The sustained-release (SR) formulation provides longer-lasting pain relief.

Diclofenac works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation. By reducing these chemicals, Dicloran SR helps decrease pain and improves mobility in patients suffering from inflammatory conditions.

Dicloran SR is commonly prescribed for chronic pain conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, and post-injury inflammation. Its sustained-release formula ensures gradual medicine release, providing prolonged relief throughout the day.
