Defenac Gel 30gm contains diclofenac diethylamine (1.16%) and works on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits COX Enzyme: Diclofenac works by inhibiting your body's cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme plays a key role in producing prostaglandins, chemicals responsible for causing pain and inflammation.

• Reduces Prostaglandin Production: By inhibiting the COX enzyme, diclofenac effectively reduces prostaglandin production, resulting in decreased pain, swelling, and stiffness.

• Enhances Medicine Penetration: The diethylamine salt formulation enhances the penetration of diclofenac through the skin, enabling effective delivery to the underlying tissues. This helps provide quick and long-lasting pain relief at the source.

• Store Defenac Gel 30gm under 30°C for optimal usage.

• Protect the gel from direct sunlight and heat, which might affect its properties.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to avoid drying out.

• Always keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or application.

• Use Defenac Gel 30gm before its expiry date to ensure its effectiveness.

• If you're using Defenac Gel 30gm for arthritis pain, try incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. Foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and olive oil can help manage inflammation in the body.

• Regular gentle exercise such as swimming or cycling can help keep your joints flexible and reduce stiffness. Remember to warm up before starting any exercise and cool down afterwards to prevent muscle strains or sprains.
