Benefits of Rekin Gel

In Pain relief

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.

How to use Rekin 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 Rekin Gel works

Rekin Gel is a combination of five medicines : Aceclofenac, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, and Capsaicin Based Rubefacients, that is used for pain relief. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil decreases swelling through its anti-inflammatory properties. 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 interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Capsaicin Based Rubefacients is also a pain reliever. Capsaicin works by desensitizing the nerve endings which reduces pain. Rubefacient increases the blood flow of the affected area to give a warm and soothing feeling.
