🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionDiclofenac is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Paracetamol is also rapidly and completely 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, where it may persist longer than in plasma. Paracetamol distributes widely into most body tissues, with relatively low protein binding.
Protein BindingDiclofenac is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. Paracetamol is approximately 10-25% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismDiclofenac is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, primarily CYP2C9, to several metabolites. Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver via glucuronidation and sulfation, with a small fraction metabolized by CYP2E1 to a toxic intermediate, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), which is detoxified by glutathione.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of diclofenac is approximately 1-2 hours. The elimination half-life of paracetamol is approximately 2-3 hours.
ExcretionDiclofenac metabolites are excreted primarily in urine (about 65%) and bile (about 35%). Paracetamol metabolites are excreted primarily in urine.
BioavailabilityThe oral bioavailability of diclofenac is approximately 50-60% due to first-pass metabolism. Paracetamol has a high oral bioavailability of about 80-90%.
Onset of ActionOnset of pain relief is typically within 30-60 minutes after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of diclofenac are reached in about 1-2 hours. Peak plasma concentrations of paracetamol are reached in about 0.5-1 hour.
Duration of ActionThe duration of pain relief is generally 4-6 hours, but may vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary mechanisms. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxane. This results in reduced inflammation, pain, and fever. Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and possibly activating descending serotonergic pathways, producing analgesia and antipyresis with minimal anti-inflammatory effects. Together, they provide enhanced pain relief through different pathways.

Mechanism Steps

1
COX enzyme inhibition by diclofenac: Diclofenac binds to and reversibly inhibits 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 at peripheral sites.
3
Central analgesic action of paracetamol: Paracetamol acts in the brain and spinal cord to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and modulate pain perception.
4
Combined analgesic effect: The two mechanisms complement each other, providing stronger pain relief than either agent alone.
