Dubinor Ointment is a combination medicine used to relieve pain. It helps treat muscle and joint pain, arthritis pain, and pain due to nerve damage (neuropathic pain). Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body.
Dubinor Ointment consists of Gabapentin, Diclofenac diethylamine, and Methyl salicylate. Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic agent that alters the way the nerves send messages to the brain, thus relieving pain. Diclofenac diethylamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes that cause pain and swelling. Methyl salicylate is a topical rubefacient that temporarily relieves muscle or joint pain caused by strains and sprains.
Dubinor Ointment is for external use only. Take a pea-sized amount onto your fingers and apply it to the affected areas. You are advised to use Dubinor Ointment for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side-effects, such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. These side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer time, please see your doctor.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before using the Dubinor Ointment. Dubinor Ointment is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established.
