Product Overview
Diclofenac is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for veterinary use, providing strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Both sodium and potassium salt forms are available, with the potassium salt offering faster absorption for acute conditions. Widely used in livestock for mastitis, lameness, and respiratory disease management.
Diclofenac inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Diclofenac Potassium provides rapid onset of action for acute pain, while Diclofenac Sodium is used for sustained anti-inflammatory effects. Important safety note: Diclofenac is contraindicated in vultures and certain avian species due to documented toxicity — strict regulatory compliance is required.
