Uses & Benefits
Relief of localized muscle and joint pain due to sprains, strains, sports injuries, back/neck pain, tendonitis, and mild osteoarthritis-related pain and inflammation.
How It Works
Diclofenac is an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX enzymes and lowering prostaglandin production at the affected site. Methyl salicylate and menthol act as counterirritants providing a warming/cooling sensation that distracts from pain. Linseed oil provides soothing emollient support and may aid local comfort.
Directions for Use
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed, typically 3–4 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Wash hands after application; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken/irritated skin.
Side Effects
Skin irritation, redness, itching, burning sensation, dryness, rash
Warnings & Precautions
Do not apply on cuts, wounds, infected or eczematous skin. Avoid occlusive bandaging and heat pads over the applied area. Stop use and consult a doctor if rash/irritation persists or symptoms worsen. Use with caution in people allergic to NSAIDs/salicylates (may trigger hypersensitivity). Avoid use on large areas or for prolonged periods without medical advice, especially in children or in those with asthma/NSAID allergy history. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek medical help.
Drug Interactions
Minimal with topical use; however excessive/prolonged use may increase risk of interactions with oral NSAIDs, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelets (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel), methotrexate, and other salicylate-containing products. Avoid using multiple topical NSAIDs/counterirritants on the same area.
Storage Instructions
Store at room temperature (below 25–30°C), tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
