Mode Of Action:
This is a combination of three drugs Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase
Diclofenac has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. The mechanism of action of Diclofenac, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood but involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). Diclofenac is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis in vitro.
Paracetamol has a central analgesic effect that is mediated through activation of descending serotonergic pathways. Debate exists about its primary site of action, which may be inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis or through an active metabolite influencing cannabinoid receptors.
Serratiopeptidase reduces pain and swelling without inhibiting prostaglandins and has no gastrointestinal adverse effects. It also acts by enhancing blood circulation due to proteolytic effect, removing damaged and denatured proteins and cellular debris, and modulating inflammatory cytokines.
Diclofenac paracetamol and serratiopeptidase combined together to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation.
