Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs that are difficult to replace in the treatment of inflammatory pain. Both the mechanisms involved in the development of inflammatory pain and the individual characteristics of each non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs currently allow for personalized drug selection in such a way as to escalate its effectiveness while minimizing the risk of side effects. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with one of the longest clinical experience. Since the beginning of the 70s of the last century, it has become an important element of everyday rheumatological practice, used in both degenerative and autoimmune diseases.
