How Volitra Plus Gel 30Gr works

Diclofenac is a topical NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX enzymes and prostaglandin synthesis at the site of application. Methyl salicylate and menthol act as counterirritants producing a cooling/warming sensation that distracts from pain. Linseed oil acts as an emollient and may support soothing of inflamed tissues.
