🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionFollowing intramuscular injection, diclofenac is rapidly and completely absorbed. The bioavailability is approximately 90% compared to oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations are achieved within 10 to 30 minutes after injection.

DistributionDiclofenac is highly bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. It distributes widely into tissues, including synovial fluid, where it can persist longer than in plasma. The volume of distribution is approximately 0.55 L/kg.

Protein BindingGreater than 99% bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin.

MetabolismDiclofenac is extensively metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, primarily CYP2C9, to several metabolites, including 4'-hydroxydiclofenac, 5'-hydroxydiclofenac, and 3'-hydroxydiclofenac. Some metabolites may have weak anti-inflammatory activity.

Half-LifeThe terminal elimination half-life is approximately 1 to 2 hours. However, the therapeutic effect may last longer due to tissue distribution.

ExcretionDiclofenac and its metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine (about 65%) and bile/feces (about 35%).

BioavailabilityApproximately 90% following intramuscular administration.

Onset of ActionPain relief typically begins within 10 to 30 minutes after intramuscular injection.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentration occurs within 10 to 30 minutes after intramuscular injection.

Duration of ActionAnalgesic effect lasts approximately 4 to 6 hours.

How It Works

This medicine works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, primarily COX-2, which are responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical messengers that promote pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, this medicine reduces pain and swelling. It also has antipyretic properties. The inhibition is reversible and dose-dependent.

Mechanism Steps

1

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes: This medicine binds to and inhibits the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, preventing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2.

2

Reduced prostaglandin synthesis: The inhibition leads to decreased production of prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxane.

3

Decreased pain and inflammation: Lower levels of prostaglandins result in reduced sensitization of pain receptors and less vasodilation and edema, leading to pain relief and reduced inflammation.

4

Antipyretic effect: Prostaglandin reduction in the hypothalamus leads to decreased fever.
