Dical

Dical, also known as diclofenac, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, inflammation, and fever. It belongs to the class of drugs known as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Dical is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and topical creams, and is often prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is also used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with muscle strains, sprains, and other soft tissue injuries. Common side effects of dical include stomach upset, nausea, and increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. As with any medication, it is important to use dical under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of use.
