Adwiflam sachets are a unique pharmaceutical preparation characterized by their fast-dissolving powder formula, containing the active ingredient diclofenac potassium at a concentration of 50 mg per sachet. Diclofenac potassium belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), characterized by their ability to effectively relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Thanks to its powder form, Adwiflam dissolves quickly when mixed with water, allowing for rapid absorption into the body, thus providing rapid pain relief and effective relief from inflammation associated with a wide range of medical conditions, such as dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) and acute migraine attacks with or without aura in adults, in addition to relieving the symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and treating moderate to severe pain resulting from injuries, surgeries, or other inflammatory conditions.
The active ingredient in Adwiflam sachets
The therapeutic effect of Adwiflam sachets depends primarily on the presence of the following active ingredient in a precise and specific concentration in each sachet to ensure optimal therapeutic results:
Diclofenac potassium: Available in a concentration of 50 mg in each sachet in the form of a readily soluble powder. Diclofenac potassium is the potassium salt of diclofenac acid and is characterized by its rapid solubility in water, facilitating rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, thus providing a rapid onset of analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.
Mechanism of Action of Adwiflam sachets
The diclofenac potassium in Adwiflam sachets works by inhibiting the action of a vital enzyme in the body known as cyclooxygenase (COX). There are two main types of this enzyme: COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the enzyme primarily responsible for the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that play an important role in causing pain, inflammation, and fever. Diclofenac potassium inhibits the action of COX-2, reducing prostaglandin production and thus relieving pain and inflammation. Although diclofenac also inhibits COX-1, its effect on COX-2 may be more selective, contributing to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect while reducing some of the side effects associated with COX-1 inhibition.
