Emergesic Plus Tube Of 30gm Gel

Emergesic Plus gel is a topical pharmaceutical preparation designed for localized pain management. Its active components include diclofenac, methyl salicylate, menthol, and linseed oil. Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), functions to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Methyl salicylate and menthol act as counter-irritants, providing a localized warming or cooling sensation that helps distract from pain and may increase blood flow to the application site. Linseed oil, rich in alpha-linolenic acid, contributes to the formulation's anti-inflammatory properties and serves as an emollient base. This gel is indicated for the symptomatic relief of pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.

It is applied externally to address discomfort arising from muscle strains, ligament sprains, neck and shoulder stiffness, general muscle soreness, joint pain, and back pain. The formulation targets localized areas to provide relief from acute and chronic pain affecting muscles and joints.
