MECHANISM OF ACTION: Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of chemicals called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes help to make other chemicals in the body, called prostaglandins. Some prostaglandins are produced at sites of injury or damage causing pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which means pain and inflammation are eased. Methyl salicylate & menthol produce an immediate sensation of warmth due to their rubefacient & counter-irritant properties. INDICATIONS: Sprains & strains, lower back pain, musculoskeletal disorders. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the ingredients of the product. SIDE EFFECTS: Dry skin, peeling, scaling, or flaking of the skin. ADMINISTRATION: Apply a drop of gel onto the affected area and rub it onto the skin. The amount of gel required will vary depending on the size of the area to be treated. Wash hands after use. STORAGE: Store at a temperature below 25℃. Do not freeze.
