Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines sold directly to a consumer without a prescription from a healthcare professional, as compared to prescription drugs, which may be sold only to consumers possessing a valid prescription. In many countries, OTC drugs are selected by a regulatory agency to ensure that they are ingredients that are safe and effective when used without a physician's care.

Durilac contains the active substance diclofenac sodium, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Its action is based in the inhibition of cyclooxygenases, which participate in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have an important role in the process of pain, inflammation and chills. Non - steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit cyclooxygenases-1 and-2 (COX-1 and-2). Inhibition of COX-1 is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, while the inhibition of COX-2 is associated with anti-inflammatory action.
Diclofenac is rapidly absorbed when it is given in the form of rectal suppositories or intramuscular injection. Diclofenac is also absorbed percutaneously. Approximately 99 % of the drug is bound with the plasma proteins. Diclofenac passes in the synovial fluid and in the breast milk. Its plasmatic half life is 1 – 2 hours. It is excreted in the form of glucuronides and sulphates, mainly through urine (65 %) and bile (35 %).

Adrenaline is an endogenous substance that is produced in the adrenal medulla and has important physiological effects. It is a potent agonist at both alpha and beta adrenoceptors, although the effect on beta adrenoceptors is more marked, particularly at lower doses.
The major effects of adrenaline are dose-related and include:
dilatation of the bronchi, narrowing of blood vessels, increased heart rate and contractility (positive chronotropic and inotropic effect) and stimulation at central level. Adrenaline is a histamine antagonist. It is used for the treatment of life emergencies.
Adrenaline is used in acute allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.
It is also used in advanced cardiac life support.
