Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Tapal D Gel. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Tapal D Gel

Uses of Tapal D Gel
Pain relief
Benefits of Tapal D Gel
- In Muscle pain
- Tapal D is rubbed into the skin over the sore muscle and eases the pain where it is applied, with very little reaching the rest of the body.
- In Joint pain
- Tapal D reduces pain and stiffness in a sore joint when applied over it, which is useful for knees, hands and other joints close to the skin.
- In Sprains and strains
- Tapal D relieves the pain and swelling of a sprain or strain so the area can be rested and then moved as it heals.
- In Backache
- Tapal D soothes a painful back when massaged into the area, easing stiffness and helping you move more comfortably.
How Tapal D Gel works
Tapal D Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac diethylamine, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate and Menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Menthol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil is a plant-based oil which further reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation at the site of application. It also increases the penetration of Diclofenac diethylamine through the skin. Methyl Salicylate produces a cooling effect on the skin.
How to take Tapal D Gel
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Tapal D Gel, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use, but swallowing these preparations can be serious, particularly in children. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
