Catafly is a liquid oral preparation containing diclofenac potassium as its primary active ingredient. This ingredient belongs to the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a class of drugs known for their ability to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and reduce fever. Catafly works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, natural body chemicals that play a pivotal role in causing pain, inflammation, and fever. This syrup represents a suitable treatment option for children who may have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules, as well as adults who prefer the ease of taking liquid medications and their rapid absorption in the digestive system, resulting in rapid pain relief and inflammation reduction.
The active ingredient in Catafly
Catafly contains the following active ingredient, which is the core of its therapeutic effect:
Diclofenac potassium: The potassium salt of phenylacetic acid. This salt is highly soluble and rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream after oral administration, making it an effective treatment option for conditions requiring urgent pain relief and inflammation control. The liquid nature of the syrup enhances the absorption process compared to solid dosage forms.
