Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Diprofos is a corticosteroid medicine. It works by decreasing the amount of pain and decreasing inflammation causing compound in body. As the injection is injected directly into the articular cartilage of joint, it does not have any systemic side effects, hence it can be safely given to your mother to relieve arthritic pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Rishu Saxena
