Dicloran Tablet 50mg contains Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling in various conditions such as arthritis, muscle injuries, and joint disorders. It helps reduce pain and improve mobility.

This medicine is commonly prescribed for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, back pain, menstrual cramps, and injury-related pain, making it one of the widely used anti-inflammatory painkillers.
