pharmachologic effect

NSAIDs for external use.

Diclofenac has a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect.

By indiscriminately inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2, it disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid.

Voltaren® Emulgel® is used to eliminate pain and inflammation in joints, muscles and ligaments of traumatic or rheumatic origin, helping to reduce pain and swelling associated with the inflammatory process, increasing joint mobility.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption The amount of diclofenac absorbed through the skin is proportional to the area of ​​the treated surface and depends on both the total dose of the applied drug and the degree of skin hydration. After applying Voltaren® Emulgel®, 2% gel for external use (2 applications per day) to the skin surface of 400 cm2, the concentration of the active substance in the plasma corresponds to its concentration when using 1% diclofenac gel (4 applications per day). On the 7th day, the relative bioavailability of the drug (AUC ratio) is 4.5% (for the equivalent dose of diclofenac sodium salt). The absorption did not change when the moisture-permeable dressing was worn. Distribution When the drug was applied to the affected joint area, the concentration of diclofenac in plasma, synovial membrane and synovial fluid was determined.Cmax in plasma was approximately 100 times lower than after oral administration of the same amount of diclofenac. The binding of diclofenac to plasma proteins is 99.7%, mainly to albumin (99.4%). Diclofenac is predominantly distributed and retained deep in tissues prone to inflammation, such as joints, where its concentration is 20 times higher than in plasma. Metabolism Diclofenac metabolism is carried out in part by glucuronidation of an unchanged molecule, but mainly through single and multiple hydroxylation, which leads to the formation of several phenolic metabolites, most of which are converted to glucuronide conjugates. Two phenolic metabolites are biologically active, but to a significantly lesser extent than diclofenac.Withdrawal The total systemic plasma clearance of diclofenac is 263 ± 56 ml / min. The final T1 / 2 is 1-2 hours. T1 / 2 of metabolites, including two pharmacologically active ones, is also short and is 1-3 hours. One of the metabolites (3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxydiclofenac) has a longer T1 / 2, however, this metabolite is completely inactive. Most of diclofenac and its metabolites are excreted in the urine.
