Faconex Plus 25mg/75mg Injection belongs to a class of medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or pain killers used to treat pain, including musculoskeletal pain (pain in the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves), gout attacks, pain caused by kidney stones, pain caused by injuries, fractures or trauma. On the other hand, it may also be used to prevent or treat post-operative pain.
Faconex Plus 25mg/75mg Injection contains Diclofenac (analgesic) and Paracetamol (fever reducer/mild analgesic). Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclooxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. On the other hand, paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac.
