Diclofenac inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting their synthesis, diclofenac reduces these symptoms.

Management is primarily supportive; gastric lavage and activated charcoal may be considered within an hour of ingestion. Monitor vital signs and provide symptomatic treatment as needed.

Avoid in the third trimester of pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus and complications during delivery. In the first and second trimesters, use only if clearly needed and the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Diclofenac is excreted in breast milk; use with caution during lactation, only if deemed essential by a physician.
