DICLOFENAC GEL 20GM

Formulated for high transdermal penetration, this topical gel contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which works by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. By blocking these enzymes, the gel halts the synthesis of prostaglandins—the specific chemical messengers responsible for triggering pain, heat, and inflammatory swelling in response to injury or chronic joint wear.

Key Benefits

• Targeted Action: Delivers powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects directly to the affected joint, tendon, or muscle group.
• Rapid Dermal Absorption: The non-greasy, fast-drying formula penetrates quickly without leaving a sticky residue or staining clothing.
• Excellent Safety Profile: Minimizes the risk of systemic NSAID side effects, such as gastric irritation, ulcers, or cardiovascular concerns.
• Improves Mobility: Effectively reduces the stiffness and swelling associated with chronic joint conditions, helping restore physical flexibility and comfort.

Therapeutic Indications

This gel is indicated for the localized relief of pain and inflammation associated with:

• Degenerative Joint Disease: Osteoarthritis of superficial joints such as the knees, ankles, and fingers.
• Soft Tissue Rheumatism: Tendonitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, and periarthropathy.
• Traumatic Injuries: Acute strains, sprains, muscle contusions, and sports-related soft tissue injuries.
