Mechanism of Diclofenac Potassium Paracetamol Serratiopeptidase Tablets
Diclofenac is a cyclooxygenase(COX) inhibitor. Cyclooxygenase is an enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins, the chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the site of damage. Diclofenac blocks the formation of prostaglandins and effectively reduces the symptoms. Paracetamol primarily involves the central nervous system i.e. the brain and the spinal cord. It also increases the body’s pain threshold. Serratiopeptidase works by decomposition of abnormal or damaged proteins. This reduces swelling, promotes the drainage of excess fluids and accelerates the natural healing process and tissue repair.
