Valfen Gel 30 gm

Valfen Gel is used in the treatment of pain and inflammation of muscles and joints. The detailed uses of Valfen Gel are as follows:

• Relief of muscle pain: Valfen Gel helps reduce pain caused by muscle strain, overuse, or mild injuries.
• Treatment of joint inflammation: It reduces swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in joints affected by osteoarthritis or other inflammatory conditions.
• Management of backache: Valfen Gel provides localised relief from lower or upper back pain.
• Support in sprains and strains: Reduces pain and inflammation due to ligament or muscle injuries.
• Relief of sports injuries: Valfen Gel is commonly used to treat minor injuries caused by physical exercise.
• Control of soft tissue inflammation: It reduces inflammation in tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues, including tendinitis and bursitis.

• Valfen Gel is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with tennis elbow (swelling of tendons in the elbow), arthritis (joint pain), scapular inflammation (inflammation in the bursa under the shoulder blade), tendovaginitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath), peritendinitis (inflammation of the tendon), swelling and pain after trauma, and myalgia (muscle pain).
• Valfen Gel works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins.
• By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

• One patch to be applied for one day or as advised by your doctor.
• Apply the patch directly onto the affected area of your skin. Make sure the skin is clean, dry, and free from any cuts or irritation before applying the patch. Press it gently to ensure it sticks well.
