Description
Diclofenac Sodium+Thiocolchicoside+Linseed Oil+Methyl Salicylate+Menthol+Benzyl Alcohol gel is composed of multiple active ingredients used to relieve pain and relax the muscles. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers that causes pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Menthol and Methyl Salicylate act as topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin and then warming it up. This cooling and warming-up action interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Linseed Oil has anti-inflammatory properties and thus lowers inflammation in case of arthritis. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and to improve pain and movement of muscles.
Take the medicine as per the prescribed dosage and duration by the doctor. Do not apply the gel on burned or injured areas. Strictly follow the dosage, prescribed by the doctor and complete the full course of medicine. Store the gel in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
