Pharmacological properties and pharmacokinetics
Group B vitamins work with NSAIDs.
- Diclofenac lowers body temperature, eliminates inflammation and is an antiplatelet agent. It reduces the metabolism of arachidonic acids and prostaglandins. Reduces pain in rheumatic diseases and relieves swelling. In the event of injury, it effectively removes swelling in the area of inflammation.
- Thiamine regulates the amount of fats, carbohydrates and proteins throughout the body. The nerve endings in the synapse are activated thanks to this substance, which is part of the drug.
- Pyridoxine controls the functioning of the nervous system.Its main role is to synthesize coenzyme for nerve tissue. Participates in the biosynthesis of adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.
- Cyanocobalamin regenerates red blood cells and normalizes blood circulation. All biochemical processes depend on it. Thanks to this substance, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids are synthesized. Ensures the normal functioning of all human organs.
Diclofenac is absorbed quickly enough. This process can be slowed down only when taken with food. Complete absorption occurs after 3 hours. It is distributed in plasma and passes into breast milk. Metabolism occurs in the liver, in which about 50% of the active substance is involved. The drug is excreted with the help of kidneys and bile.
B vitamins are diluted with water, which is part of the body. Thiamine and pyridoxine excrete kidneys in an amount of 10%. The rest is absorbed into the intestines. Cyanocobalamin leaves exclusively thanks to bile and only about 7% - through the kidneys.
