Product introduction
Anaflex Gel is a pain-relieving medicine. It is used to relieve the pain of soft tissue injuries and acute strains and sprains. It may also be used to treat inflammation and other painful conditions of the bone or muscle.
Anaflex Gel is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be massaged into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, and avoid applying it to wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse them with cold water.
Anaflex Gel is usually safe with little or no side effects. However, it may cause a burning sensation and skin irritation at the site of application in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. If they do not get better with time or worsen, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms.
Before using the medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines for the same condition or other diseases. To make sure the medicine is safe, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using the medicine.

In Pain relief
Anaflex Gel is used to relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints caused by conditions such as sprains, strains, sports injuries, and arthritis.

This targeted action provides effective local relief while limiting absorption into the bloodstream, which lowers the risk of stomach and other systemic side effects commonly seen with oral pain-relieving medicines.
