DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL
About
DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL 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. Arthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.
DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL contains Diclofenac diethylamine, Capsaicin, Mephenesin, Camphor, and Menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine blocks chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Mephenesin relieves muscle spasms/stiffness by acting on the centres of the brain and spinal cord. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL helps in providing relief from pain.
You are advised to use DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Uses of DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL
Medicinal Benefits
DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL is a combination of five drugs, namely: Diclofenac diethylamine, Capsaicin, Mephenesin, Camphor, and Menthol. DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac diethylamine work 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. Mephenesin relieves muscle spasms/stiffness by acting on the centres of the brain and spinal cord. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, DICLOFENAC DIETHYLAMINE+MEPHENESIN+CAPSAICIN+CAMPHOR+MENTHOL 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 localised 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. Symptoms of musculoskeletal pain include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, and soreness.
Arthritis: 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 a protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
