VOLINAC Gel

Indicated for the quick relief from pain, swelling and inflammation due to musculo-skeletal disorders such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, bursitis, hands, neck & shoulder pain, sciatica, muscle stiffness, joint pain, back ache and lumbago.

Diclofenac Diethylamine is systemically absorbed through the skin; it inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thus reducing the formation of PGE2. Moreover, it also increases the uptake of Arachidonic acid into the cellullar pool. Menthol is a vasodilator. It dilates the blood vessels, produces a feeling of coolness and produces analgesia. Methyl salicylate is a known anti-inflammatory agent.
