Voligesic Plus Gel 30 GM works in the human body in the following ways:

• Diclofenac diethylamine (1.16%): This NSAID inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that produces prostaglandins, chemical substances that trigger pain and inflammation in your body.

• Linseed oil (3%): Rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, linseed oil inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing inflammation at the application site.

• Menthol (5%): It stimulates TRPM8 receptors in the skin, creating a cooling sensation that masks pain signals. It also has local anaesthetic and vasodilating properties.

• Methyl salicylate (10%): Similar to diclofenac in function, it reduces inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis when applied topically. It also provides mild pain relief.

• Store Voligesic Plus Gel 30 GM in a cool place, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the gel away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure the tube is tightly sealed when not in use.

• Always store this medication out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before the expiry date marked on the tube and carton.

• Consider adopting a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, fatty fish, and fruits like strawberries, oranges, and blueberries. It will help manage muscular pains or joint ailments.

• Regular low-impact exercises like walking or swimming can help improve overall muscle strength and joint flexibility, potentially reducing pain and inflammation. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
