The drug DICLOGENTA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Diclofenac
UNII QTG126297Q - DICLOFENAC SODIUM
|
|
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The mechanism of action of diclofenac in AK may be related to the inhibition of the cycloxygenase pathway leading to reduced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. In addition, immunohistochemistry (IHC) from skin biopsies ac revealed that the clinical effects of diclofenac in AK are primarily due to anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and possibly anti-proliferative effects and apoptosis-inducing mechanisms. |

2
Gentamicin
UNII 8X7386QRLV - GENTAMICIN SULFATE
|
|
Gentamicin is usually bactericidal in action. Although the exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, the drug appears to inhibit protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by irreversibly binding to 30S ribosomal subunits. |
