What Experts Say

Clodium Tablet contains diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, commonly called an NSAID. It works by blocking two enzymes in the body called COX-1 and COX-2, which are directly responsible for producing chemical messengers known as prostaglandins at the site of injury or irritation.

Prostaglandins are what cause pain, swelling, redness and fever whenever tissue is injured or inflamed, whether that is a swollen joint, an infected tooth, or muscle strain. By lowering how much prostaglandin the body produces, diclofenac reduces these symptoms fairly quickly after a dose is taken, which is why it works well for short bursts of acute pain.

Because COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes are active throughout the body and not only at the injury site, this same mechanism also explains its main risks. Prostaglandins normally protect the stomach lining and help maintain blood flow to the kidneys, so reducing them can raise the chance of stomach irritation or kidney strain. This is why NSAIDs like Clodium are generally prescribed at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.
