Vovilup Spray is a topical analgesic (pain killer) primarily used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and pain of osteoarthritis of joints. It reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, thereby improving your ability to move and flex the joint.
Vovilup Spray contains Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate (as a pain killer), Linseed oil (as an anti-inflammatory), and Menthol (as a cooling agent). Vovilup Spray works by first cooling the skin and then warming it up, which interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Together Vovilup Spray works by blocking the release of chemical messengers that causes pain and inflammation with redness and swelling.
Vovilup Spray should only be used if advised by your doctor. Vovilup Spray should be used for skin only, and accidentally if it gets into your eye, mouth, or nose, rinse with water. Vovilup Spray should be applied to the affected area with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. Vovilup Spray should not be applied more than the recommended dose to avoid unpleasant side effects. Some common side effects of Vovilup Spray are burning, itching, redness, stinging, and dryness on your skin in the place where Vovilup Spray is applied. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Children affected with viral flu, chickenpox, or viral fever should avoid using Vovilup Spray as it contains methyl salicylate may induce Reyes Syndrome (swelling in the liver and brain).
