Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does NuDiclo SoluPak Work?
Diclofenac, the active ingredient in NuDiclo SoluPak, works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, diclofenac helps alleviate pain and inflammation.
