Moniflam Gel contains Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate (as a pain killer), Linseed oil (as anti-inflammatory), and Menthol (as cooling agent). Moniflam Gel works by first cooling the skin and then warming it up that interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Together Moniflam Gel works by blocking the release of chemical messengers that causes pain and inflammation with redness and swelling.
