Dubinor Ointment 30 gm

Your doctor may prescribe this gel to help support the following conditions:

• Nerve pain (Neuropathy): It may help soothe localised nerve pain, such as burning, shooting, or tingling sensations.
• Joint pain and osteoarthritis: It reduces localised swelling, stiffness, and pain in joints close to the skin's surface, such as the knees, elbows, or fingers.
• Muscle strains and sprains: It helps relieve acute muscular aches, inflammation, and soreness caused by physical strain or overexertion.

When used as directed as part of your treatment plan, this medicine may provide the following benefits:

• Provides targeted pain relief: Delivers active ingredients directly to the painful area to help relieve localised discomfort.
• Helps improve comfort and movement: By reducing pain and stiffness, it may make everyday activities and gentle movement more comfortable.
• Supports multiple pain-relief mechanisms: Combines ingredients that help relieve nerve pain, reduce inflammation, and provide a warming counter-irritant effect that temporarily helps relieve pain.
• Reduces exposure: Because the medicine is applied to the skin, much less enters the bloodstream than with oral pain medicines, which may reduce the risk of some side effects.

• Generally, Dubinor Ointment is applied once or twice a day. However, follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication for effective results.
• Apply a small amount of Dubinor Ointment as a thin layer on the affected area with clean hands.
• Dubinor Ointment is for external use only.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

• Stay active: Gentle activities like walking or swimming help keep your joints flexible and muscles strong without placing excess stress on painful areas.
• Eat an anti-inflammatory diet: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like walnuts and flaxseeds) and antioxidants (like leafy greens and berries) to help manage overall body inflammation.
• Important note on supplements: While dietary sources are generally helpful, please discuss the use of high-dose omega-3 supplements with your doctor, as they may increase your risk of bleeding when combined with the diclofenac in this medication.
• Apply temperature compresses carefully: Using a cold pack for acute swelling or a warm compress for chronic muscle stiffness can provide complementary relief. Always ensure these are applied at times well apart from your medication application to avoid altering how the gel absorbs.
• Practice nerve-gliding stretches: If you suffer from nerve pain, consult a physical therapist for specific stretches designed to help relieve pressure on compressed or irritated nerves.

• Check the tube before use: Do not use this medicine if the tube is damaged, leaking, or if the gel has changed colour, separated, or developed an unusual odour.
• Avoid contact with sensitive areas: Keep this medicine away from your eyes, mouth, nose, and other sensitive areas. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water.
• Avoid heat and tight coverings: Do not apply heating pads, hot water bottles, or tight bandages over the treated area unless advised by your doctor, as these may increase the amount of medicine absorbed into your body through the skin and raise the risk of side effects.
• Follow the recommended application schedule: Do not apply more than the recommended amount or use this medicine more often than directed. If your symptoms do not improve after about 7 days, become worse, or keep returning, consult your doctor.
