Medicinal Benefits:

SAFEGUARD TABLET is used to treat aches and pains and musculoskeletal and joint pain problems due to arthritis. SAFEGUARD TABLET contains diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac works by blocking the chemical effect of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which produces prostaglandins (mediators of pain and inflammation) that are responsible for the sense of pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Misoprostol is a prostaglandin that helps to protect the stomach from diclofenac's irritating effects. It works by protecting the stomach lining by reducing the amount of acid in contact with it.
