FAQs

Anaflam Gel contains Diclofenac, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl Salicylate work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Linseed oil inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels. Together, Anaflam Gel helps provide relief from mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.

About Anaflam Gel

Anaflam Gel belongs to the class of medications called topical analgesics primarily used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and osteoarthritis. It effectively reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, thereby improving your ability to move and flex the joint. Osteoarthritis is a long term musculoskeletal joint disorder that causes damage to the cartilage and surrounding tissues characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function.

Anaflam Gel contains diclofenac, linseed oil, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate work by lowering hormones in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Linseed oil inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol is a soothing and cooling agent which provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels. Together, Anaflam Gel helps relieve mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
