Overview
Cataflam Drops contain diclofenac potassium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), formulated as oral drops (approximately 15mg/ml) for accurate, flexible dosing. They are prescribed to relieve mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation, and are commonly used when a doctor needs to dose by body weight, such as for children or patients requiring smaller, individualised amounts.
Diclofenac works by blocking both the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. The potassium salt form is absorbed relatively quickly, which can give a faster onset of relief than some other diclofenac formulations.
How it Works
Diclofenac potassium non-selectively inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis throughout the body. This lowers the intensity of pain signalling, reduces inflammatory swelling, and lowers fever by acting on the temperature-regulating centre, while its potassium salt form allows relatively rapid absorption after oral administration.
Directions for Use
Measure the prescribed number of drops using the dropper supplied with {title_en}, and give it directly or mixed with a small amount of water or juice. Giving the dose after food may help reduce stomach upset. Shake the bottle gently before use if instructed on the packaging, and always use the original dropper to ensure an accurate dose.

The dose of Cataflam Drops is calculated by your doctor based on body weight and the condition being treated, and measured precisely using the dropper provided. Do not exceed the dose or frequency prescribed by your doctor, and always use the calibrated dropper rather than estimating the amount.
