DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE
About DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE
DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure, or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.
DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac Sodium, Menthol, Methyl salicylate, and Alcohol. Diclofenac sodium and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin (PG). By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Menthol and Alcohol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE helps in providing relief from pain.
DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is for external use only. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Avoid or limit exposure to natural or artificial sunlight as DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE may cause ultraviolet light-induced skin tumours. Do not take any other NSAIDs for pain relief along with DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE unless advised. Caution must be exercised when older children are being treated with DICLOFENAC SODIUM+ALCOHOL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Musculoskeletal pain: Musculoskeletal pain affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It can be acute or chronic, can be localized or widespread. The pain can be mild or severe enough to interfere with your daily routine. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure, or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Musculoskeletal pain symptoms include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, soreness, cracking, or popping sound at the joints.
Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness.
