About ZYFLEX NANO GEL

ZYFLEX NANO GEL belongs to the class of medications called analgesics. It is used to treat pain, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness. It helps relieve strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain.

ZYFLEX NANO GEL contains Thiocolchicoside, Methyl salicylate, menthol and Alcohol. Thiocolchicoside and methyl salicylate help reduce muscle spasms and pain. Menthol is a pain reliever. When applied, it produces a cooling sensation on the skin, followed by warming up. These effects interfere with the pain signal and reduce pain. Alcohol serves mainly as a cooling agent, producing a sensation that can divert attention from pain by widening blood vessels in the application area. It also serves as a carrier to facilitate the better penetration of other active ingredients into the skin, which intensifies their analgesic effects; in other words, it briefly numbs the skin. 

You should use ZYFLEX NANO GEL precisely as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of ZYFLEX NANO GEL are a burning sensation, redness, itching, irritation, and numbness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
