About Diclofenac

Diclofenac is a powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is widely used across Nigeria for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and swelling. It is one of the most commonly administered drugs in Nigerian hospitals, clinics, and health centres, particularly in its injectable form. If you have ever visited a hospital in Nigeria for severe pain — whether from back pain, post-surgery discomfort, or a sports injury — there is a good chance you were given a diclofenac injection (commonly referred to as 'Voltaren injection' by many healthcare workers and patients). The drug is known by popular brand names including Voltaren, Clofen, Olfen, and Diclogesic.
