Uses of ALCOHOL+DICLOFENAC+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE

Pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders.

Medicinal Benefits

ALCOHOL+DICLOFENAC+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Menthol, and Alcohol. ALCOHOL+DICLOFENAC+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Alcohol and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, ALCOHOL+DICLOFENAC+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Musculoskeletal pain: Musculoskeletal pain affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It can be acute or chronic, can be localized or widespread. The pain can be mild or severe enough to interfere with your daily routine. 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. Musculoskeletal pain symptoms include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, and soreness.

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness.
