What is Diclofenac?

Diclofenac is a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medication that can help alleviate symptoms such as painful joints, aching legs, and muscle pain. During menopause, women are more likely to experience these issues due to hormonal fluctuations. Oestrogen plays a role in maintaining healthy and supple cartilage. As levels of this hormone drop or fluctuate, many women in menopause experience joint pain. Diclofenac is free from hormones and belongs to the group of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). It works by inhibiting substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Diclofenac is only available with a prescription.
