About Infen Gel

Infen Gel belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) used to treat moderate to severe pain in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage.
