Medicinal Benefits

Paincom 0.5% Gel belongs to the group of medications known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to treat pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders, including tenosynovitis, tendinitis, periarthritis, strains, sprains, and low back pain. Paincom 0.5% Gel works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
