CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE
About
CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE belongs to a class 'topical analgesic' (pain reliever) medication primarily used to treat joint pain, low back pain, muscle sprains, and sports injuries. Additionally, it relieves muscle, joint pain and swelling caused by joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling in one or more joints, causing pain and stiffness that worsens over time.
CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE contains diclofenac diethylamine, capsaicin, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Methyl salicylate block the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation. Capsaicin works by affecting chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that transmit pain signals to the brain thereby reducing the perception of pain. Menthol is a cooling agent that relieves pain by first cooling and then warming the skin. It also aids in the improvement of blood circulation.
CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is only for external use. Apply a small amount of CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE as a thin layer to the clean and dry affected area. Your doctor will advise the dose and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience redness, itching, irritation, or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical attention and fade away over time. Please consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Please notify your doctor if you are known to be allergic to CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE or any other medications. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE. Do not apply heat to the treated area of the skin or wrap it in bandages. Avoid using CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE in higher than recommended doses or on a large area of skin for an extended period, as this may result in adverse side effects. Do not use CAPSAICIN+DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE on cuts, wounds, or damaged skin.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Maintain a healthy body weight because obesity can lead to joint pain. Please avoid strenuous exercise as it may aggravate your arthritis-related joint pain. Instead, you can stretch and engage in low-impact aerobic exercises like treadmill walking, biking, and swimming. Lifting light weights can also help to improve your muscle strength.
- Increase intake of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin D, and calcium-rich supplements. Aside from that, turmeric and fish oils can help to reduce tissue inflammation.
- Include fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in reducing inflammation (redness and swelling) and protecting the heart.
- Your sitting posture is critical, especially if you suffer from pain or inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short period (10-15 min). To alleviate pain, place a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve. In addition, if necessary, you can use a footrest.
- Avoid drinking alcohol and quit smoking.
