About Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm

Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm is 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. 
 
Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Alcohol. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Alcohol enhances the transdermal penetration of diclofenac. Together, Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm helps in providing relief from pain.
 
In some cases, Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm may cause 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. Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm is not recommended for children below 14 years. Avoid or limit exposure to natural or artificial sunlight as Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm might make your skin sensitive to sunlight.

Uses of Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm

Pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders.

Medicinal Benefits

Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Alcohol. Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger 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 enhances the transdermal penetration of diclofenac. Together, Instaflex 4X Topical Spray 35Gm helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.

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, and soreness.
