Cytopan Ingredients and Usage
Cytopan contains diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog. It is primarily indicated for patients who require NSAID therapy for pain and inflammation but are vulnerable to gastrointestinal ulceration.
This combination medication is widely used to manage signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Diclofenac targets pain and joint swelling, while misoprostol replaces mucosal prostaglandins to help safeguard the gastrointestinal tract.
How Does Cytopan Work?
Diclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation in body tissues.
Misoprostol works by mimicking protective prostaglandins in the stomach. It decreases gastric acid secretion and enhances mucosal protection, reducing the risk of ulcers caused by diclofenac.
