Wayfenac Gel 30 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.

Wayfenac Gel 30 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, 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.

Wayfenac Gel 30 gm is for external use only. Avoid getting the Wayfenac Gel 30 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, Wayfenac Gel 30 gm can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

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).
