Myolaxin-D Gel is primarily used to alleviate minor muscle and joint discomfort. It is a combination medicine that falls into the class of topical analgesics or pain relievers.

This gel is also effective in managing conditions such as arthritis pain, backache, sprains, strains and other sports injuries. Its unique blend of active ingredients provides comprehensive relief for both acute musculoskeletal pain, like neck or back pain, and chronic conditions, such as arthritic pain in the knee joints.

Before you start using this medicine, it’s recommended that you consult with your doctor to understand the correct dosage and frequency of application. It’s also important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or medications you might be on. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. Ensure you continue using the medicine for the duration your doctor prescribes for optimal results.

Myolaxin-D Gel is used for managing the following conditions:

Pain associated with arthritis, particularly in the knee joints
Acute musculoskeletal discomfort, such as neck and back pain
Minor sprains and strains that occur during sports activities or otherwise

Directions for Use of Myolaxin D Gel 30gm

Clean and dry the affected area before application.
Gently massage the gel into the area until it's fully absorbed. Do not apply on broken skin.
After application, wash your hands carefully to avoid accidental contact with your eyes, nose, open lesions or mouth.
For best results, do not cover the applied area with bandages or apply heat to it.
If you're unsure about any of these instructions, it's a good idea to consult your doctor.

Myolaxin-D Gel is applied topically.

Myolaxin-D Gel may have the following common side effects:

Skin irritation, redness, and burning sensation at the application site
Itching, rash, hives
Dry skin
Gastrointestinal upset, nausea, diarrhoea: These can cause discomfort in your stomach area, make you feel like vomiting or result in loose stools.
Dizziness
Headache
Increased blood pressure

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Myolaxin-D Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin irritation, redness, or burning sensation at the application site: Try applying less of the gel and spread it evenly over a larger area.
Gastrointestinal upset, nausea, diarrhoea: Consider having a meal before applying the gel as it can help to lessen these effects.

Myolaxin-D Gel has several active ingredients that work together:

Capsaicin (0.075%): Capsaicin binds to TRPV1 receptors on neurons that sense pain. With repeated application, it desensitizes these receptors by reducing substance P - a chemical involved in transmitting pain signals.
Methyl salicylate (20%): This NSAID also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis. Along with menthol, it creates a counterirritant effect.
Menthol (10%): Menthol activates TRPM8 receptors, which creates a cooling sensation that masks pain perception.
Camphor (5%): Camphor mildly irritates the skin which helps distract from deeper pain. It also causes vasodilation - this means it widens blood vessels which improves circulation to the painful area.
Eucalyptus oil (5%): Similar to camphor, eucalyptus oil acts as a counterirritant that mildly irritates the skin, diverts attention from deeper pain, and encourages blood flow to the painful area.
Diclofenac diethylamine (1.16%): This potent NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Medicine) inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by blocking COX enzymes, reducing inflammation and thus alleviating pain.

Pregnancy

If you are expecting, caution is advised while using Myolaxin-D Gel. It is best to discuss this with your doctor before applying this medicine.

Breastfeeding

For lactating women, it's critical to consult your doctor before applying Myolaxin-D Gel.

Alcohol

Interactions between alcohol and Myolaxin-D Gel are rare due to their topical nature, but it's always wise to ask your doctor about any concerns.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, you are advised to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

Like liver health, kidney diseases may also require special consideration. If you have kidney health problems, it is recommended that you speak with your doctor before using Myolaxin-D Gel.

Using Machines & Driving

As a topical medicine, Myolaxin-D Gel should not affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, ensure the gel has completely dried and does not hinder your grip or visibility.

Allergy

If you have known allergies to diclofenac, aspirin, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), or any ingredients in the product, avoid using Myolaxin-D Gel.

Children

Myolaxin-D Gel should not be used on children under 12 years unless directed by a doctor. Always consult with a medical professional before administering this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Myolaxin-D Gel with care as they may be more sensitive to NSAID effects. Your doctor will be able to guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Myolaxin-D Gel interacts with the following medicines:

Oral Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Medicines (NSAIDs): Medicines such as naproxen may interact with Myolaxin-D Gel, potentially causing an increased risk of side effects due to cumulative NSAID exposure.
Anticoagulants: Medications like warfarin may intensify their blood-thinning effect when used with this gel.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Myolaxin-D Gel.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Myolaxin-D Gel interacts with the following diseases:

Asthma: Individuals having asthma, particularly if they get attacks triggered by NSAIDs, should exercise caution while using this gel.
Skin Conditions: Those with damaged or infected skin should avoid applying this gel to the affected areas.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Myolaxin-D Gel should be applied as directed by your doctor. This dosage might change based on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to the treatment.

Over Dose

Applying more Myolaxin-D Gel than recommended can lead to skin irritation, redness, and potentially a burning sensation. If you accidentally apply too much, clean the area with water. If symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forgot to apply Myolaxin-D Gel at the scheduled time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose without consulting your doctor.

Keep Myolaxin-D Gel at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Do not freeze.
Protect the product from light and moisture.
Always keep the gel tube tightly closed when not in use.
Store this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

If you're managing muscle or joint pain with Myolaxin-D Gel, consider incorporating gentle stretching exercises into your daily routine. This can help improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.
A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods like oily fish, nuts and seeds, may help reduce inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis.
