What is Diclofenac?

Diclofenac is a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medication that can help alleviate pain and inflammation. During menopause, women are at an increased risk of experiencing these symptoms due to hormonal fluctuations. Oestrogen plays a role in maintaining flexible and healthy cartilage. As levels of this hormone drop and fluctuate, many women in menopause may suffer from painful joints. Diclofenac belongs to the group of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and works by inhibiting substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. This medication is hormone-free and is only available with a prescription.
