Introduction
Approximately half of the marketed drugs are administered in the form of salts. The type of salt of
any active drug molecule would highly affect the physicochemical and/or the biological properties of
this drug. In addition, different salt forms of the same drug can be used for different routes of
administration. Therefore, a proper salt should be selected for a drug molecule to ensure the
optimal therapeutic outcome.
The acidic group of NSAIDS is part of their pharmacophoric nucleus, sodium, potassium, and the
free acid forms are used in oral preparation, while diclofenac sodium is used in topical preparations
(gel and solution).
Question:
From the following diclofenac forms diclofenac sodium, diclotenac potassium
Match the most appropriate diclofenac form to be used for the following patients
Male patient suffering from
Diclofenac sodium or diclofenac potassium no preference :
rheumatoid arthritis
Female patient with dysmenorrhea Choose.
Geriatric male patient with
Diclofenac potassium
complicated heart condition
