🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionDiclofenac is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Paracetamol is also rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food may delay the absorption of diclofenac but does not significantly reduce the extent of absorption.
DistributionDiclofenac is highly bound to plasma proteins and distributes into synovial fluid. Paracetamol distributes widely into most body tissues.
Protein BindingDiclofenac: greater than 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. Paracetamol: approximately 10-25% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismDiclofenac is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, mainly CYP2C9, to several metabolites. Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver primarily by glucuronidation and sulfation, with a small fraction metabolized by CYP2E1 to a toxic intermediate (NAPQI) that is detoxified by glutathione.
Half-LifeDiclofenac: approximately 1-2 hours. Paracetamol: approximately 2-3 hours.
ExcretionDiclofenac metabolites are excreted mainly in urine and bile. Paracetamol metabolites are excreted primarily in urine.
BioavailabilityDiclofenac: approximately 50-60% due to first-pass metabolism. Paracetamol: approximately 80-90%.
Onset of ActionPain relief typically begins within 30-60 minutes after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimeDiclofenac: 1-2 hours. Paracetamol: 0.5-1 hour.
Duration of ActionPain relief lasts approximately 4-6 hours.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with different mechanisms. Diclofenac is a non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxane. This results in analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and possibly activating descending serotonergic pathways, producing analgesia and antipyresis. The combination provides additive pain relief through complementary mechanisms.

Mechanism Steps

1
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase by diclofenac: Diclofenac binds to and reversibly inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2.
2
Reduced prostaglandin synthesis: Decreased prostaglandin production leads to reduced inflammation, pain, and fever.
3
Central analgesic action of paracetamol: Paracetamol acts on the central nervous system to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and modulate pain perception.
4
Additive analgesic effect: The combination of peripheral and central mechanisms provides stronger pain relief than either drug alone.
