Pharmacology
Diclofenac Diethylamine is absorbed through the skin into the body. It blocks the enzyme cyclooxygenase, and that reduces the formation of PGE2. It also increases the uptake of Arachidonic acid into the cellular pool. Menthol is a vasodilator, so it widens the blood vessels, gives a feeling of coolness and produces analgesia. Methyl salicylate is a known anti-inflammatory agent.
