How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Zeltis D works by combining two active ingredients. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that helps break down proteins and reduces swelling and inflammation in tissues.
The pharmacological action of Diclofenac involves blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins. By reducing these chemicals, Diclofenac helps to alleviate pain and swelling. Serratiopeptidase complements this effect by promoting the breakdown of inflammatory proteins, further aiding in the reduction of swelling and promoting healing.
