Dilomek

Diclomek has local antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic activity.

The drug slows GHG binding at the COX level, as a result of which it affects the inflammatory pathogenesis, as well as the processes of the appearance of fever and pain.

In the case of diseases of a rheumatic nature, the anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties of the drug help to significantly reduce the intensity of pain, joint swelling and stiffness in the morning. In case of injuries, the drug reduces inflammatory swelling and pain.

Indications Dilcomedic

It is used for symptomatic procedures for such violations:

• osteoarthritis, affecting peripheral and vertebral joints;
• injury-related inflammation of the ligaments, tendons, joints or muscles (bruises, overstrain or sprains);
• localized varieties of rheumatic lesions in the area of soft tissues (among them bursitis with tenosynovitis, periarthritis and “shoulder-bone” syndrome).

Release form

The component is produced in the form of a gel, inside a tube of 50 g.

Pharmacokinetics

After topical application of a gel containing diclofenac, only a small part of the substance is absorbed into the blood. Because of this, the drug has no systemic toxic effects. After processing the damaged epidermis, a film is formed on it, from which the active component is gradually released, passing deeply into the subcutaneous tissues. It was determined that inside the fluid obtained from the area of articular inflammation, as well as synovia, the indicators of the drug are higher than inside the plasma, which confirms the local effect of the drug.

Excretion is performed in the urine - in unchanged condition and in the form of metabolic components.

Dosing and administration

A child older than 6 years, as well as an adult, needs to apply a gel strip (about 4-8 cm) on the epidermis in the affected area, then rub it with light movements. Wash hands after finishing.

Repeat this procedure should be 3-4 times per day, over a 10-14-day period.
