Martin Dow Synflex Gel, 50g

Description

Martin Dow’s Synflex Gel, available in a 50g tube, is a topical formulation primarily used for pain relief and inflammation. It contains Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which is effective in treating various musculoskeletal conditions.

Uses

Synflex Gel is indicated for:

• Muscle Pain: Provides relief from strains and sprains.
• Joint Pain: Effective for conditions like arthritis and tendinitis.
• Back Pain: Alleviates discomfort associated with back injuries or chronic back issues.
• Post-Surgical Pain: Helps reduce pain after surgical procedures involving muscles or joints.

Mechanism of Action

Naproxen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these substances, Synflex Gel reduces swelling and alleviates pain at the application site.

Application

• Dosage: Apply a thin layer of Synflex Gel to the affected area 2-3 times daily, gently massaging it into the skin until fully absorbed.
• Wash hands after application to avoid accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Skin irritation or rash at the application site.
• Allergic reactions (rare) such as itching or swelling.

Precautions

• Avoid using Synflex Gel on broken or infected skin.
• Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Use cautiously in individuals with kidney disease or those taking other medications that may interact with NSAIDs.
