Benefits of Synofia Gel

In Muscle pain

Synofia Gel gives fast relief from pain and swelling in the muscles 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. It also relaxes stiff muscles and helps in easy movement. 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.

How to use Synofia 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 Synofia Gel works

Synofia Gel is a combination of seven medicine. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain to decrease the sensation of pain. Methyl Salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil, also known as flaxseed oil, has an anti-inflammatory effect that helps to reduce pain and swelling. Tramadol is an opioid analgesic (pain reliever) that works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain to lower pain perception. Benzyl Alcohol is used as a preservative.
