Treatment Details

What is Motusol 1% Diclofenac Gel?
Motusol 1% Diclofenac Gel is a topical anti-inflammatory and pain relief treatment, commonly used for muscle injuries, joint pain, arthritis, sprains, and strains. It contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and swelling in the affected area.
How does Motusol 1% Diclofenac Gel work?
Diclofenac works by inhibiting the enzyme that produces prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and pain. By applying the gel directly to the skin, the active ingredient is absorbed locally into the tissue, providing fast-acting relief without the systemic side effects associated with oral NSAIDs.
- Apply a small amount of Motusol 1% Diclofenac Gel to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily.
- Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed.
- Wash hands after application.
- Avoid applying to broken, irritated, or sensitive skin, and keep away from eyes or mucous membranes.
Potential side effects may include:
- Mild skin irritation such as redness or itching.
- Rare allergic reactions, including swelling or difficulty breathing.
- Sensitivity to sunlight, so avoid sun exposure on treated areas.
If you experience any severe side effects, stop using the product and consult your doctor immediately.
