How DIFEHEX-P Works
DIFEHEX-P works through the combined action of Diclofenac Potassium and Paracetamol.
First, Diclofenac Potassium helps reduce the production of prostaglandins. These substances play a role in pain, swelling and inflammation. Therefore, reducing prostaglandin production can help decrease pain and inflammation.
At the same time, Paracetamol works mainly within the central nervous system. It helps reduce pain and fever. Consequently, the two ingredients provide complementary effects for pain management.

Important Safety Information
Take DIFEHEX-P only as directed by your healthcare professional. Diclofenac can sometimes irritate the stomach. In some people, it can also increase the risk of stomach ulcers or bleeding, especially with long-term use.
