Diclofenac

A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that reduces pain and inflammation.

Lidocaine

A local anesthetic that numbs the area of application, providing pain relief.

Methyl Salicylate

A counterirritant that produces a warming sensation and helps to relieve pain and inflammation.

Linseed Oil

A natural oil that may help to soften the skin and potentially improve absorption of other ingredients.

Relief of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as sprains, strains, and bruises.

Temporary relief of muscle aches and pains.

Reduction of inflammation in affected areas.

This combination product works through multiple mechanisms. Diclofenac inhibits the production of prostaglandins, reducing inflammation and pain. Lidocaine blocks nerve impulses, providing local anesthesia. Methyl salicylate acts as a counterirritant, potentially stimulating blood flow and reducing pain perception. Mephenesin (if present) relaxes muscles, alleviating spasms. Linseed oil may aid in the absorption of other ingredients.
