Powergesic 100mg Transdermal Patch 3

Powergesic 100mg Transdermal Patch 3 is used for managing chronic pain such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is a pain-relieving medicine designed for external application. It contains Diclofenac Diethylamine, which helps in reducing inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, muscle injuries, and sprains. This patch is an easy-to-use alternative to oral painkillers, providing targeted relief by being directly applied to the affected area.

• Diclofenac Diethylamine: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation by blocking certain chemical signals in the body. It may assist in inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and swelling. By reducing prostaglandins, it helps alleviate discomfort associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.

• Adhesive Layer: It helps the patch stay in place while ensuring the controlled release of the medication. It helps provide a strong yet flexible hold and reduce the patch from shifting during daily activities. The adhesive is designed to be skin-friendly, which may minimise irritation and discomfort.
   
• Polymeric Backing: It acts as a protective layer to keep the medication intact until applied to the skin. It may reduce external contaminants from affecting the drug formulation. The backing material is lightweight and breathable, ensuring comfort during use.
   
• Penetration Enhancers: It may assist in the absorption of the drug through the skin for effective pain relief. They help improve the permeability of the skin, allowing the medication to reach deeper tissues. These may enhance drug delivery, ensuring consistent and prolonged effects.
   
• Non-irritant Base: Non-irritant base helps ensure that the patch remains gentle on the skin without causing allergic reactions. It is formulated to suit sensitive skin, which may reduce the risk of rashes or redness. The base also helps enhance comfort, allowing prolonged wear without discomfort.

• Relieves Rheumatoid Arthritis: The active ingredient, Diclofenac Diethylamine, helps in reducing joint pain and swelling, making movement easier for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. It may assist in inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals, thereby easing discomfort. The patch helps ensure targeted pain relief without the need for oral medications and may reduce potential gastrointestinal side effects.
   
• Manages Osteoarthritis Pain: This patch helps provide long-lasting relief from joint stiffness and discomfort associated with osteoarthritis by blocking pain signals. It may penetrate deep into the affected joints, reduce inflammation and improve flexibility. The slow-release mechanism helps ensure continuous relief throughout the day and minimise the need for frequent application.
   
• For Muscle Sprains and Strains: It may help alleviate pain caused by minor muscle injuries by delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. The patch helps reduce swelling and redness, speeding up the healing process. Its non-greasy and odourless design makes it convenient for all-day wear, even under clothing.
   
• Reduces Back and Neck Pain: The patch helps in reducing chronic back pain and neck stiffness, offering localised and sustained pain relief. It may help reduce tension and improve circulation in affected areas. The patch is an excellent alternative for those looking to avoid the side effects of oral painkillers. 
   
• For Sports and Accidental Injuries: Ideal for individuals experiencing muscle soreness or inflammation due to physical activities or accidental trauma. The patch helps in reducing post-exercise recovery time by alleviating muscle fatigue and stiffness. Its targeted action may ensure that relief is delivered exactly where needed, enhancing comfort and performance.
