DOLENTIA GEL 30 GM

How DOLENTIA GEL 30 GM Works

• DOLENTIA GEL 30 GM is a topical analgesic designed to provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation. Its effectiveness stems from the synergistic action of its key ingredients, which work through multiple mechanisms to alleviate discomfort.
• Diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is a central component of DOLENTIA GEL. It functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that contribute to inflammation, pain, and fever. Specifically, diclofenac blocks the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis at the site of application, diclofenac effectively reduces inflammation and alleviates pain.
• Methyl Salicylate, also known as wintergreen oil, acts as a counterirritant. When applied topically, it creates a soothing sensation of warmth that distracts from the underlying pain. This is achieved by stimulating nerve endings in the skin, leading to a mild, localized inflammatory response. This response increases blood flow to the area, which can help to reduce pain and stiffness. Furthermore, the counterirritant effect helps to 'override' pain signals being sent to the brain, providing temporary relief.
• Menthol, another key ingredient, also functions as a counterirritant and provides a cooling sensation. Similar to methyl salicylate, menthol stimulates nerve endings, but it activates cold-sensitive receptors. This cooling effect can help to soothe irritated tissues and provide a refreshing sensation, further distracting from pain. Menthol also has mild analgesic properties and can help to reduce muscle spasms.
• Together, these ingredients create a multi-faceted approach to pain relief. Diclofenac addresses the underlying inflammation, while methyl salicylate and menthol provide immediate, soothing relief through counterirritation and a cooling sensation. The gel formulation allows for direct application to the affected area, maximizing drug concentration at the site of pain and minimizing systemic absorption, which reduces the risk of side effects. This targeted delivery ensures that the active ingredients can quickly penetrate the skin and reach the underlying tissues to provide effective and localized pain relief from conditions like muscle aches, joint pain, sprains, and strains. The combined effect is a powerful and convenient solution for managing localized pain and inflammation.

Dolentia Gel may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include skin irritation, redness, itching, burning sensation, or rash at the application site. Less common side effects could involve allergic reactions like hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any severe side effects or an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. Other uncommon side effects may include dry skin, peeling, or changes in skin pigmentation. Contact your doctor if you notice any unusual or persistent symptoms.

• If you miss a dose of Dolentia Gel, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular application schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep DOLENTIA GEL 30GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store DOLENTIA GEL 30GM at room temperature.

• There is no known interaction between Dolentia Gel and food. Dolentia Gel is for external use only, and its absorption into the bloodstream is minimal. Therefore, it is unlikely that food intake will affect the way this medicine works.
