Uses of Dextropropoxyphene + Diclofenac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen

  • The primary use of Dextropropoxyphene + Diclofenac + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is to manage acute moderate to severe pain. This medication belongs to the class of combination analgesics.

How Dextropropoxyphene + Diclofenac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen works

  • Dextropropoxyphene + Diclofenac + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic combination.

  • Dextropropoxyphene, an opioid analgesic, works by binding to specific receptors in your central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord). By doing this, it blocks the transmission of pain signals, which reduces your perception of pain.

  • Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medecine (NSAID). It affects substances in your body known as cyclooxygenase enzymes. When these enzymes are blocked, the production of prostaglandins (chemicals that cause pain and inflammation) is reduced, leading to decreased pain and swelling.

  • Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic that also affects the central nervous system. It is thought to inhibit the action of certain enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins. By doing so, it helps to lower pain and reduce fever.
