How it works
Diclofenac works by inhibiting the enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, which produce prostaglandin G2 (PGG2), a precursor to various prostaglandins (PGs). PGs play a key role in pain and inflammation, and blocking their production is how diclofenac exerts its effects. Specifically, it targets PGE2, a primary PG influencing pain perception and peripheral sensitization. By disrupting pathways involving receptors like EP1, EP2, and EP3, diclofenac reduces sensitivity to pain stimuli. It also curtails inflammation by limiting the actions of PGI2, PGE2, and PGD2. Moreover, diclofenac helps control fever by preventing the generation of PGE2 in the brain.
