About Floil Liniment

Floil Liniment is used to relieve joint pain, low back pain, sprains, strains, and muscular pain. Also, Floil Liniment 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.

Floil Liniment is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), Capsaicin (analgesic), Menthol (cooling agent), and Camphor (mild pain reliever). Diclofenac 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. Capsaicin works by blocking pain signals to the nerves and relieves minor pain in the joints and muscles. Menthol works initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This helps in improving blood circulation. Camphor helps to relieve pain.

Use Floil Liniment as prescribed. Floil Liniment is only for external use. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Floil Liniment 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 Floil Liniment do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Floil Liniment or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Floil Liniment. Do not apply heat or wrap the treated area of the skin with bandages. Avoid using Floil Liniment in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time, as it may cause adverse effects.
