Medicine Description Libradiclan 140 mg
Libradiclan 140 mg blisters is a medication that combines diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue. The diclofenac component works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a critical role in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical mediators that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, diclofenac effectively reduces the production of these inflammatory substances, thereby alleviating pain and inflammation. Misoprostol, on the other hand, helps protect the gastric mucosa from the potential side effects of NSAIDs by promoting the secretion of mucus and bicarbonate, and by maintaining gastric mucosal blood flow. This dual-action mechanism provides both analgesic and protective effects, making Libradiclan beneficial for patients requiring anti-inflammatory treatment without significant gastrointestinal risks.
