Anti-inflammatory analgesic (each tablet contains diclofenac sodium 25mg)
 

Apo-Diclo is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which relieves pain and reduces inflammation. Each Apo-Diclo tablet contains 25mg of diclofenac sodium. Apo-Diclo is used for the short term relief of pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains or sprains and other injuries. Apo-Diclo is also effective for the alleviation of period pain, back pain, gout, migraine and pain following minor surgery.
