How does diclofenac’s mechanism of action differ from other NSAIDs and what specific properties make it effective in managing pain and inflammation?
Diclofenac inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes with higher potency towards COX-2, which specifically reduces production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, enhancing its effectiveness in pain relief.
