Mechanism of Action of Diclofenac Sodium
Diclofenac possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action. It inhibits the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase and there by inhibits the synthesis of Prostaglandins (PGs). It is more potent against cyclo-oxygenase-2 enzyme as compared to other NSAIDs like Indomethacin, Naproxen etc. It reduces intracellular concentrations of free arachidonic acid in leukocyte by altering its release or uptake. .

Serratiopeptidase

About Serratiopeptidase
A proteolytic enzyme, A powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-edemic.
Mechanism of Action of Serratiopeptidase
This anti-inflammatory proteolytic enzyme bind to the alpha-2-macroglobulin in the blood, which helps to mask its antigenicity.Then it is slowly transferred to the site of inflammation. Serratiopeptidase hydrolyze bradykinin, histamine, serotoxin responsible for oedema.It reduces swelling improves microcirculation and expectoration of sputum. Due to this action Serratiopeptidase has anti-inflammatory, antioedemic and fibrinolytic activity and act rapidly on localized inflammation.
Pharmacokinets of Serratiopeptidase
Orally absorbed. In the case of enteric coated tablet absorption take place in the intestine. After absorption it is directly enter in to the bloodstream. It is excreted via urine and bile.
