About COFENAC GEL
COFENAC GEL is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, contusions (bruises), post-traumatic pain, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, or dislocations.
COFENAC GEL contains Diclofenac diethylamine, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical, prostaglandin.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and a burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
COFENAC GEL is for external use only. Notify your doctor if you have had any recent heart surgery. Consult a doctor before using COFENAC GEL if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not apply COFENAC GEL to open wounds, cuts, scrapes, or damaged skin.
