About DICLORAN MS GEL

DICLORAN MS GEL 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.

DICLORAN MS GEL contains Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate (as a pain killer), Linseed oil (as an anti-inflammatory), and Menthol (as a cooling agent). DICLORAN MS GEL works by first cooling the skin and then warming it up, which interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Together DICLORAN MS GEL works by blocking the release of chemical messengers that causes pain and inflammation with redness and swelling.
