Marcogesic Gel

Overview Marcogesic Gel

Topical analgesic Marcogesic Gel provides pain relief through a unique biphasic action: initial cooling followed by warming. This effect enhances local blood flow and creates a counter-irritant distraction from discomfort. The gel also inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators responsible for pain and swelling. For external use only, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as directed by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth, and do not apply to broken skin. Rinse thoroughly with cool water if accidental contact occurs. Mild, temporary side effects like burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site may occur in some individuals, typically subsiding with continued use. Report persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. While generally unaffected by other medications, inform your physician of all current medications and pre-existing medical conditions before using Marcogesic Gel. Seek medical advice regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How Marcogesic Gel works:

Marcogesic Gel combines diclofenac, methyl salicylate, and menthol to provide pain relief. Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), inhibits the production of pain and inflammation-causing neurochemicals. Methyl salicylate and menthol, acting as topical analgesics, initially cool the skin before producing a warming sensation. This thermal counter-irritant effect enhances local circulation and diminishes pain perception.
