About Systaflam Gel 25 gm

Systaflam Gel 25 gm 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. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.

Systaflam Gel 25 gm combines five medicines: Diclofenac, Mephenesin, Menthol, Turpentine oil and Methyl salicylate. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation, redness and swelling. Mephenesin is a muscle relaxant (that relaxes the muscle and treats muscle pain). It works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle hardness or spasms and improve the pain and movement of muscles. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (applied directly to alleviate pain). They work initially by cooling the skin, followed by warming it up. This action helps in improving blood circulation and provides relief from pain. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.

Systaflam Gel 25 gm is for external use only. Avoid getting the Systaflam Gel 25 gm in contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Do not apply it to wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact, immediately rinse it with cold water. Like all medicines, Systaflam Gel 25 gm can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. You might experience side effects such as a burning sensation, irritation, itching and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects of Systaflam Gel 25 gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use this medicine without consulting your doctor. Even though drugs used topically (directly applied) on the skin are not normally affected by any other medication, you should inform your doctor if you are taking any other medicine. Also, inform your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to diclofenac or any other drugs in the past, any cut or infected skin and ever had signs of any lung, liver, kidney-related diseases/disorders, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), sleeping disorder or difficulty in sleeping (sleep apnoea). Please tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding to avoid unnecessary risks.

Systaflam Gel 25 gm combines five medicines: Diclofenac, Mephenesin, Menthol, Turpentine oil, and Methyl salicylate. Here, diclofenac works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and signs of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Mephenesin is a muscle relaxant (that relaxes the muscle and treats muscle pain). It works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle hardness or spasms and improve the pain and movement of muscles. On the other hand, methyl salicylate and menthol work by causing the skin to feel cool and warm. This action helps improve blood circulation and thus provides relief from pain. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help reduce inflammation in the tissue.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.
  • In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain, fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids with a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
