🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is given by injection, so absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is not required. After intramuscular injection, diclofenac and paracetamol enter the bloodstream directly, with peak levels usually reached within 20 to 60 minutes depending on the injection site and blood flow.
DistributionBoth diclofenac and paracetamol distribute widely into body fluids and tissues. Diclofenac is highly bound to plasma proteins, while paracetamol distributes into most body tissues with a volume of distribution of about 0.9 to 1.0 L/kg. Both cross the placenta and are present in breast milk in small amounts.
Protein BindingDiclofenac is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin. Paracetamol is only about 10% to 25% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismDiclofenac is metabolized in the liver mainly by cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially CYP2C9, into several metabolites. Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver by glucuronidation and sulfation, with a small portion converted by CYP2E1 to a toxic intermediate that is normally detoxified by glutathione.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of diclofenac is about 1 to 2 hours. The elimination half-life of paracetamol is about 2 to 3 hours in adults with normal liver function. These values may be longer in liver disease or overdose.
ExcretionDiclofenac metabolites are excreted mainly in urine and bile. Paracetamol metabolites are excreted mainly in urine, with about 85% to 90% of a dose eliminated in urine within 24 hours.
BioavailabilityAfter intramuscular injection, diclofenac bioavailability is high, approximately 90% or more. Paracetamol bioavailability after intramuscular injection is also high and comparable to oral administration. Exact values may vary by product and injection technique.
Onset of ActionPain relief usually begins within 15 to 30 minutes after intramuscular injection. Fever reduction may begin within 30 minutes.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma levels are generally reached within 20 to 60 minutes after intramuscular injection for both diclofenac and paracetamol.
Duration of ActionPain relief typically lasts about 4 to 6 hours, though this can vary depending on the severity of pain and individual response. Fever reduction may last about 4 to 6 hours.

How It Works

This medicine combines two pain-relieving ingredients with different mechanisms. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Paracetamol acts mainly in the central nervous system by reducing prostaglandin synthesis in the brain and affecting pain signal transmission. Together, they provide stronger pain relief than either ingredient alone in many acute pain settings.

Mechanism Steps

1
Diclofenac blocks cyclo-oxygenase enzymes: Diclofenac binds to and inhibits cyclo-oxygenase-1 and cyclo-oxygenase-2, reducing the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins.
2
Reduced prostaglandin production: Lower prostaglandin levels decrease pain receptor sensitization, swelling, and fever at the site of injury.
3
Paracetamol acts centrally: Paracetamol reduces prostaglandin synthesis in the brain and spinal cord, raising the pain threshold and lowering fever.
4
Combined analgesic effect: The two ingredients work through different pathways, giving stronger and broader pain relief than either alone.

This medicine must be given only by a trained healthcare professional. Do not attempt to inject it yourself at home. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a stomach ulcer, kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, asthma, or an allergy to painkillers. Avoid alcohol while receiving this medicine because it increases the risk of stomach bleeding and liver problems.

Keep all follow-up appointments so your doctor can monitor your response and check for side effects. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy after the injection.

👴 Special Considerations for Elderly

💡 For Patients Above 65

Elderly patients are at higher risk of stomach bleeding, kidney problems, and heart effects from this medicine. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time, and monitor kidney and liver function closely.

🤰 Pregnancy Planning (TTC)

If you are planning pregnancy, discuss all medicines with your doctor. This medicine should be avoided in the third trimester and used only if clearly needed in earlier stages. Paracetamol alone is generally preferred for pain relief during pregnancy.

🏥 Post-Surgery Considerations

This medicine is often used after surgery for short-term pain relief. It should be given only under medical supervision, and the dose should be adjusted based on your kidney and liver function. Switch to oral painkillers as soon as you can take them.

🦷 Dental Procedures

This medicine may be used for severe dental pain when oral medicines are not enough. Inform your dentist if you are taking blood thinners or have kidney or liver disease. Do not self-medicate before dental procedures.

💚 Lifestyle Tips for Better Results
