Mechanism of Action : Diclofenac is an NSAID with potent antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties [8]. Like other NSAIDs, although the mechanism is not completely understood, it may involve inhibition of prostaglandin synthetase and COX-1 and COX-2 pathways
The mechanism of action of acetaminophen in reducing pain is unknown but may be due to an inhibition of central prostaglandin synthesis (specifically cyclooxygenase (COX)-2) and an elevation of the pain threshold. Acetaminophen reduces fever by inhibiting the formulation and release of prostaglandins in the CNS and by inhibition endogenous pyrogens at the hypothalamic thermoregulator center
