About Dolentia Gel 30 gm

Dolentia Gel 30 gm belongs to a class of medications called 'topical analgesic' (pain killer) primarily used to relieve joint pain, low back pain, muscle sprain, and sports injuries. Besides this, it also reduces pain and swelling in muscles and joints in the conditions of joint disorders like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.

Dolentia Gel 30 gm is a combination of three painkillers/analgesics (Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate) and one cooling agent (Menthol). Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or pain killers that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Capsaicin is an analgesic that works by affecting the chemical messenger in the brain (neurotransmitter) that transmits pain signals to the brain thereby reducing the perception of pain. Menthol acts as a cooling agent that relieves pain initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This action of cooling and warming up distracts from the pain and helps in improving blood circulation.
