ROMOLENE 16G

How ROMOLENE 16G Works

• ROMOLENE 16G is a topical medication formulated to provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Its effectiveness stems from the synergistic action of its active ingredients: Diclofenac Diethylamine, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Each component plays a crucial role in alleviating discomfort and promoting healing.
• Diclofenac Diethylamine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for prostaglandin synthesis, Diclofenac Diethylamine effectively reduces inflammation and alleviates pain at the site of application.
• Linseed Oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, possesses anti-inflammatory properties and helps to soothe irritated skin. It acts as an emollient, moisturizing the skin and enhancing the absorption of other active ingredients. Linseed oil also contributes to reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
• Methyl Salicylate, a counterirritant, produces a warming sensation upon application to the skin. This warming effect helps to distract from the underlying pain by stimulating sensory nerve endings in the skin. It also increases blood flow to the affected area, which can aid in reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
• Menthol, another counterirritant, provides a cooling sensation that can help to relieve pain and inflammation. It works by activating cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, creating a cooling effect that can mask the sensation of pain. Menthol also has mild anesthetic properties, which can further contribute to pain relief.
• In summary, ROMOLENE 16G's multi-pronged approach targets pain and inflammation through different mechanisms. Diclofenac Diethylamine reduces prostaglandin production, Linseed Oil soothes and moisturizes, Methyl Salicylate provides a warming counter-irritation, and Menthol offers a cooling analgesic effect. This combined action provides effective relief from musculoskeletal pain and inflammation.

• If you miss a dose of Romolene 16G, 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 dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep ROMOLENE 16G away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ROMOLENE 16G at room temperature.

• **Clean and Dry the Affected Area:** Before applying ROMOLENE 16G, ensure the skin is thoroughly cleaned with mild soap and water, then pat dry. This helps remove dirt and debris, allowing better absorption of the medication.
• **Apply a Thin Layer:** Use only a thin layer of ROMOLENE 16G on the affected area. Excessive application won't speed up healing and might increase the risk of side effects. Gently rub it in until it disappears.
• **Wash Hands Before and After:** Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying ROMOLENE 16G to prevent contamination. Similarly, wash your hands after application unless you are treating your hands.
• **Avoid Occlusive Dressings:** Unless specifically instructed by your doctor, avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings or bandages. These can increase absorption and potentially lead to unwanted side effects. Breathable gauze is generally acceptable if covering is necessary.
• **Monitor for Allergic Reactions:** Watch for signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any of these occur, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. Even if you've used similar products before, reactions can still occur.
• **Use Regularly as Prescribed:** For best results, apply ROMOLENE 16G regularly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve. Stopping prematurely may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Consistency is key to effective treatment.
• **Avoid Contact with Eyes, Nose, and Mouth:** Be careful to avoid getting ROMOLENE 16G in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
• **Store Properly:** Store ROMOLENE 16G in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Proper storage ensures the medication remains effective and safe.
• **Check Expiration Date:** Before using ROMOLENE 16G, always check the expiration date printed on the tube or packaging. Do not use the medication if it has expired, as it may be less effective or even harmful.
• **Inform Your Doctor of Other Medications:** Tell your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking, both topical and oral, before starting ROMOLENE 16G. This will help avoid potential drug interactions.

• There are no known significant food interactions with ROMOLENE 16G. It can be used without regard to food.
