Dicloflot

Dicloflot Gel is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulation designed for topical application. It combines four active ingredients: Diclofenac Diethylamine (1.16% w/w), a potent NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation; Linseed Oil (3% w/w), a plant-based oil that enhances blood circulation and reduces inflammation; Methyl Salicylate (10% w/w), which provides a cooling and warming effect to relieve pain; and Menthol (5% w/w), which produces a cooling sensation to soothe the skin. The gel is applied directly to the affected area, offering targeted relief from pain and swelling caused by conditions such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for pain and inflammation, while improving penetration and circulation at the application site. Dicloflot Gel is for external use only and should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional.
