Active ingredients

The drug ZYMTHROTEC 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.

	Misoprostol is an analogue of naturally occurring prostaglandin E1 which promotes peptic ulcer healing and symptomatic relief.
