What Experts Say

Diclofenac sodium blocks the cyclooxygenase enzymes that produce prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for pain, swelling and fever throughout the body. By lowering prostaglandin levels at the site of injury, the injection reduces both the sensation of pain and local tissue inflammation quickly.

The intramuscular route allows a faster onset of relief than oral tablets, which is why this formulation is often chosen for acute pain in hospital and emergency room settings. Experts generally limit injectable diclofenac to short courses of one to two days before switching the patient to oral pain relief therapy.

Because it also blocks protective prostaglandins in the stomach lining and kidneys, clinicians weigh gastrointestinal and renal risk carefully before use, especially in older adults or those with existing heart or kidney disease. Repeated injections in the same muscle site are avoided to prevent local tissue damage and scarring.
