🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works through two complementary mechanisms. Diclofenac, an NSAID, inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which are responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that mediate pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, diclofenac reduces pain and swelling at the site of application. Methyl salicylate is a topical counterirritant that produces a warming sensation by stimulating sensory nerve endings. This warming effect distracts from deeper pain and increases local blood circulation, which may help clear inflammatory mediators. Additionally, methyl salicylate is slowly absorbed and converted to salicylic acid, which has mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Together, these ingredients provide localized relief without significant systemic effects when used as directed.
