Product introduction

Diclowin Ortho Roll On is a medicine applied topically to relieve pain. It works by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts the patient from pain. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and swelling.

Diclowin Ortho Roll On is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be rubbed into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid applying it on wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact, rinse it with plenty of cold water.

Use of this medicine may cause common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application in some people. Usually, the side effects will slowly go away as your body gets used to it. If they are severe or do not go away, you should let your doctor know.

Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines, you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine. You should also let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions or disorders to make sure it is safe for you. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of Diclowin Gel

Benefits of Diclowin Gel

In Pain relief

Diclowin Ortho Roll On gives fast relief from pain and swelling in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscle and back pain by creating a cooling-warming effect. It works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the pain in your muscles and joints. Altogether, it will help you do your daily activities without much problem. Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times a day and rub in gently and thoroughly.

Side effects of Diclowin Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Diclowin

How to use Diclowin Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Diclowin Gel works

Diclowin Ortho Roll On is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate and Menthol which relieve pain. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain.
