Systaflam Gel 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 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, which are 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 improve blood circulation and relieve pain. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.

Systaflam Gel is for external use only. Avoid getting the Systaflam Gel 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 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 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 is used in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders. The detailed uses of Systaflam Gel are as follows:<br/> • Pain Relief: Systaflam Gel is commonly used to relieve localised pain such as muscle aches, joint pain, and back pain.<br/> • Anti-inflammatory: Systaflam Gel helps reduce inflammation in conditions like arthritis or sports injuries, easing discomfort and swelling.<br/> • Muscle Strains and Sprains: Systaflam Gel can be applied to affected areas to help accelerate recovery from muscle strains or sprains by providing symptomatic relief.<br/> • Post-operative Pain: After certain surgeries, Systaflam Gel may be used to manage pain at the surgical site, allowing for easier mobility.<br/> • Chronic Conditions: Individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis may use it regularly to help manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.<br/>

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel by gently spreading it over the affected area.
• Wash your hands after applying it, unless your hands are the affected area.
• Avoid contact of the Systaflam Gel with the nose or eyes. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

Systaflam Gel 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 that are 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.

Consumption of alcohol should be avoided during the treatment with Systaflam Gel as it may lead to an increased risk of liver damage. Patients with stomach ulcers, gastric bleeding, severe heart failure, high blood pressure and liver or kidney disease should not take Systaflam Gel. Besides this, it should be avoided during the last trimester of pregnancy unless the doctor has prescribed it. If you have a severe allergy to painkillers and have conditions like asthma, rhinitis, angioedema (swelling under the skin) or skin rashes, immediately stop taking Systaflam Gel.
