EXEM FOAM KIT vs FLUTEX
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
The active ingredient in EXEM FOAM KIT is diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing prostaglandin synthesis. This leads to anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects.
Flutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen that competitively inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to androgen receptors in target tissues, thereby blocking the androgenic effects.
Apply to affected area twice daily. Exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor; this is a topical formulation.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 5–6 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged in hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life: 24–36 hours, permitting once-daily dosing in chronic therapy
Primarily fecal via biliary elimination (>90% as unchanged drug and metabolites); renal excretion accounts for <10%.
Renal: ~70% (50% unchanged, 20% as metabolites); Biliary/fecal: ~30%
