About Cloveran Gel

Cloveran Gel is a topical analgesic (pain killer) medication primarily used to relieve joint pain, back pain, sprain, and sports injuries. Also, Cloveran Gel is used to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.

Cloveran Gel contains Diclofenac diethylamine, Eucalyptus oil, Linseed oil, Menthol, and Methyl salicylate. Diclofenac diethylamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Eucalyptus oil helps to reduce inflammation. Linseed oil soothes sore muscles. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics that work initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This action of cooling and warming up distracts from the pain and helps in improving blood circulation.

Cloveran Gel is only for external use. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Cloveran Gel based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience redness, itching, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Cloveran Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
