Cruxol Gel

Overview Cruxol Gel

Topical analgesic Cruxol Gel provides localized pain relief. Indicated for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis, it also addresses muscle and back pain. Apply a thin layer to affected areas with clean, dry hands; external use only, as directed by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and broken skin. Rinse thoroughly with cool water if accidental contact occurs. Minor side effects, including burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site, may occur but typically subside. Persistent or worsening side effects require medical attention. While generally unaffected by other medications, inform your doctor about all current medications and pre-existing health conditions before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before using Cruxol Gel.

How Cruxol Gel works:

Cruxol Gel unites four active components: diclofenac, linseed oil, menthol, and methyl salicylate. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate, both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators responsible for pain and inflammation (swelling and redness). Linseed oil, a botanical extract, complements this action by lessening inflammation and enhancing local blood flow, thereby facilitating diclofenac's dermal absorption. Menthol imparts a soothing, cooling sensation to the skin.

What if you forget to take Cruxol Gel :

Should you forget a Cruxol Gel application, administer it at your earliest convenience. Nevertheless, if your next scheduled application is imminent, omit the missed dose and resume your usual dosing regimen. Avoid applying a double dose.
