The science behind Voltaren
![Diclofenac](https://i-cf65.ch-static.com/content/dam/cf-consumer-healthcare/health-professionals/en_AE/pain-relief/voltaren/Diclofenac_970x416.jpg?auto=format)
Targeting pain with the potent anti-inflammatory effects of diclofenac1
Diclofenac reduces inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis through action on the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. Diclofenac exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by COX-2. It also reduces the production of leukotrienes by inhibiting phospholipase A2 activity.3,5
Diclofenac not only provides pain relief but also treats inflammation – a root cause of pain.3
