Systaflam Gel 25 gm

Question 1

How does Systaflam Gel 25 gm work?

Accepted Answer

Systaflam Gel 25 gm combines five medicines: Diclofenac, Mephenesin, Menthol, Turpentine oil and Methyl salicylate. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation, redness and swelling. Mephenesin is a muscle relaxant (that relaxes the muscle and treats muscle pain). It works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle hardness or spasms and improve the pain and movement of muscles. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (applied directly to alleviate pain). They work initially by cooling the skin, followed by warming it up. This action helps in improving blood circulation and provides relief from pain. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.
