Diclofenac? Diclofen is a common misspelling of diclofenac.
Diclofenac is a prescription drug approved for various uses, including the treatment of migraines, arthritis, and pain. The specific uses of this medication will vary, depending on the particular product (it comes in the form of oral tablets and capsules, eye drops, and skin products). As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it works by blocking a specific enzyme known as cyclooxygenase, which blocks the production of various inflammatory substances in the body; this action helps to treat pain and inflammation.
