How Monogesic Plus Gel works

This gel typically contains topical analgesic/anti-inflammatory ingredients that act locally at the site of application to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling. Counterirritant components (if present) create a warming/cooling sensation that helps relieve pain.

How to take Monogesic Plus Gel

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed 2-3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Wash hands after use; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, broken/irritated skin and avoid occlusive bandages unless advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
