Diclofenac diethylamine is absorbed systemically through the skin and works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which reduces the formation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). It also increases the uptake of arachidonic acid into the cellular pool. Menthol acts as a vasodilator, widening blood vessels and producing a cooling sensation along with mild pain relief (analgesia). Methyl salicylate is an anti-inflammatory agent that helps reduce pain and inflammation.
