Description

Dofaq Gel is a topical solution that serves as an effective pain reliever. It provides immediate relief from lower back pain, muscular pain, joint pain, and sprains. The potent mix of diclofenac diethylamine, methyl salicylate, linseed oil, and menthol offers a comprehensive approach to managing discomfort.

The addition of methyl salicylate and menthol, both acting as counterirritants, induces a cooling sensation which helps soothe the skin and further reduces the pain. Linseed oil stimulates blood circulation and helps accelerate the healing process. Plus, Dofaq Gel's texture is designed to ensure easy application and quick absorption.
