Overview Exflam Gel
ArthriCalm Gel provides pain relief and diminishes swelling in muscles and joints. This gel effectively treats a range of injuries including sprains, strains, and contusions. It's also suitable for conditions like tendonitis (for example, tennis elbow) and osteoarthritis. Apply ArthriCalm Gel to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, adjusting frequency based on symptom severity. Gently massage the gel into the skin until fully absorbed. Avoid excessive application and refrain from bandaging or covering the treated area. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects include skin rash, itching, redness, or burning. A rash, especially with blistering, may indicate a serious allergic reaction; seek immediate medical attention if this occurs. ArthriCalm Gel is not advised for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and should not be used concurrently with oral diclofenac or similar medications.
