Dicloran Spray 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. 
 
Dicloran Spray contains Diclofenac, Menthol, Methyl salicylate, and Alcohol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. 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, Dicloran Spray helps in providing relief from pain.
 
In some cases, Dicloran Spray may cause 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.
 
Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Dicloran Spray is not recommended for children below 14 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid or limit exposure to natural or artificial sunlight as Dicloran Spray may cause ultraviolet light-induced skin tumours. Do not take any other NSAIDs for pain relief along with Dicloran Spray unless advised.

Dicloran Spray is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Menthol, and Alcohol. Dicloran Spray is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Alcohol and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Dicloran Spray helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.

Do not take Dicloran Spray if you are allergic to any of its components; if you experience asthma, urticaria, or allergy after taking NSAIDs. Inform your doctor if you have peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, bleeding problems, hepatic or renal insufficiency. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Dicloran Spray is not recommended for children below 14 years. Inform your doctor before using Dicloran Spray if you are taking any NSAID/pain killers orally. Stop taking Dicloran Spray and consult your doctor immediately if you have stomach pain or signs of bleeding in the intestine or stomach, such as blood in stools.

• Physical activity helps in strengthening muscles and relieves joint stiffness. Gentle activities like 20-30minutes of walking or swimming would be helpful.

• Get adequate sleep, as resting the muscles can help reduce inflammation and swelling.
• Follow heat or cold therapy, and apply a cold or hot compress on the joints for 15-20minutes regularly.
• De-stress yourself by meditating, reading books, taking a warm bubble bath, or listening to soothing music.
• Acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy may also be helpful.
• Eat food rich in antioxidants such as berries, spinach, kidney beans, dark chocolate, etc.

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, and soreness.

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.
