Diclofenac potassium powder packets are a fast-acting prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults. This formulation is designed to relieve migraine pain quickly by reducing inflammation and blocking pain signaling pathways in the body.
It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which play a key role in the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers involved in inflammation and pain. By reducing prostaglandin levels, diclofenac potassium helps relieve the headache, light sensitivity, and nausea that may accompany migraines.
The powder form of diclofenac is formulated for oral solution and allows for faster absorption compared to standard tablet forms, leading to quicker onset of relief. It is not indicated for the prophylactic treatment of migraines or for other types of pain.
