Diclofenac? Diclfenac is a common misspelling of diclofenac.
Although diclofenac is commonly used as a pain reliever, it can also be used to treat migraines, actinic keratosis (a precancerous skin condition), and various types of arthritis. It comes in many different forms and strengths, and can be taken by mouth, applied to the skin, or used as an eye drop. The drug belongs to a class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); these products work to reduce pain and inflammation by blocking a specific enzyme in the body.
