Drug

D0038 | Diclofenac

Molecular Formula C14H11Cl2NO2
Molecular Weight 296.1
Structure
State solid
Clearance * oral cl=622 mL/min [healthy] * renal cl <1 mL/min [healthy]
Volume of distribution * 1.3 L/kg
Route of elimination Diclofenac is eliminated through metabolism and subsequent urinary and biliary excretion of the glucuronide and the sulfate conjugates of the metabolites. Little or no free unchanged diclofenac is excreted in the urine. Approximately 65% of the dose is excreted in the urine and approximately 35% in the bile as conjugates of unchanged diclofenac plus metabolites.
Protein binding More than 99%
Half life 2 hours
Absorption Completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Trade names Cataflam, Voltaren
Description phenylacetic acid derivative; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID); non-selective COX inhibitor; Anti-inflammatory
