Cataflam (diclofenac potassium) 50 mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, and other inflammatory disorders. It works by inhibiting enzymes in the body (COX-1 and COX-2) that are responsible for producing prostaglandins, which cause inflammation, pain, and fever.This medication is typically taken orally, and the dosage depends on the condition being treated. It's important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider, as NSAIDs can have side effects, especially with prolonged use, including gastrointestinal issues, kidney problems, or an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
