What brand names does diclofenac potassium come in?
Diclofenac potassium is marketed under multiple brand names that can vary by country. In the US, common brand names you may see include:
- Cataflam
- Diclo-K
Brand availability can also depend on the strength (for example, tablets versus other formulations) and on whether a product is still actively marketed or has been discontinued.
Is diclofenac potassium the same as other “diclofenac” drugs?
Diclofenac potassium is the potassium salt form of diclofenac. It is not always the same as other diclofenac products, such as:
- diclofenac sodium (a different salt form), and
- extended-release diclofenac formulations.
Because of that, brand names and prescribing/label wording may differ even though they share the diclofenac active ingredient.
How can I find the exact brand for my specific prescription?
If you’re trying to confirm the brand tied to what you have, check:
- the active ingredient line on the label (it should say diclofenac potassium), and
- the dosage form and strength (e.g., tablet strength).
If you tell me your country and the strength on your bottle/box, I can narrow down the likely brand names for your market.
