Orthotol Gel

Overview Orthotol Gel

Topical analgesic Orthotol Gel provides pain relief when applied directly to the skin. It's indicated for pain and inflammation associated with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis, as well as muscle and back pain, and other inflammatory ailments. For external use only, apply a thin layer to affected areas with clean, dry hands, following your doctor's instructions. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth, and do not apply to broken skin. Rinse with cool water if accidental contact occurs. Minor side effects, such as burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site, may occur in some individuals, typically resolving with continued use. Persistent or worsening side effects should be reported to your physician. 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 doctor before using Orthotol Gel.

How Orthotol Gel works:

Orthotol 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 swelling. Linseed oil, a botanical extract, complements this action by reducing inflammation and enhancing local blood flow, thereby facilitating diclofenac's dermal absorption. Menthol provides localized cooling relief.

What if you forget to take Orthotol Gel :

Should you forget a dose of Orthotol Gel, apply it at your earliest convenience. If your next dose is imminent, however, omit the missed application and resume your usual dosing regimen. Never apply a double dose.
