About
Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, tendonitis, joint pain, muscle stiffness, back pain, bursitis (inflammation of the bursae), lumbago (low back pain), neck, hand, and shoulder 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.
Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol contains Diclofenac diethylamine, oleum lini, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Oleum lini prevents inflammation by improving blood circulation. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. Together, Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol helps in providing relief from pain.

Uses of Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol
Medicinal Benefits
Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, tendonitis, joint pain, muscle stiffness, back pain, bursitis, lumbago (low back pain), neck, hand, and shoulder pain. Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol contains Diclofenac diethylamine, oleum lini, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin. 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. Oleum lini is an emollient which prevents inflammation by preventing the action of COX enzymes on arachidonic acid, thus reducing its conversion to PGE2, a highly inflammatory agent. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Diclofenac Diethylamine+oleum Lini+methyl Salicylate+menthol helps in providing relief from pain.

Patients Concern
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 this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
