Uses of Instrel Gel
Benefits of Instrel Gel
In Pain relief
INSTREL GEL gives relief in inflammatory conditions that affect muscles and joints such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It also helps reduce pain and swelling after surgery. It blocks chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain sensation. Along with painkillers, this medicine also contains an active ingredient called Serratiopeptidase, which is an enzyme that promotes the overall healing process and speeds up recovery. Apply INSTREL GEL 2-3 times in a day or as prescribed by the doctor. Once you see some improvement, you can start doing therapy exercises (such as walking or breathing exercises) that will help you get your strength back more quickly.

How Instrel Gel works
INSTREL GEL is a combination of three medicines: Tramadol, Paracetamol and Serratiopeptidase. Tramadol is an opoid analgesic (pain reliever) which works by blocking transmission of pain signals to the brain to lower pain perception. Paracetamol is an analgesic and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme which works by breaking down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, and promotes healing.
