EXEM FOAM KIT vs PALSONIFY
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.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by blocking the reuptake of serotonin at the presynaptic neuron, thereby increasing extracellular serotonin levels in the brain.
Apply to affected area twice daily. Exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor; this is a topical formulation.
70 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks. Infusion over 60 minutes.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 5–6 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged in hepatic impairment.
Terminal half-life 12 hours (range 10–14 h) in healthy adults; prolonged to 24–30 h in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min)
Primarily fecal via biliary elimination (>90% as unchanged drug and metabolites); renal excretion accounts for <10%.
Renal: 65% unchanged; biliary/fecal: 30% as metabolites; 5% other
