Nocinix Gel is a topical ointment that combines diclofenac, linseed oil, menthol, and methyl salicylate. This unique blend of ingredients lends analgesic, cooling, and soothing properties. It's primarily used to relieve discomfort associated with acute musculoskeletal disorders like sprains, strains, tendonitis, and various types of pain, including shoulder, hand, neck, sciatica, joint, and backache.

Nocinix Gel operates by inhibiting the body's prostaglandins, which are central to causing inflammation and pain. Furthermore, its linseed oil component helps minimise skin irritation while imparting a calming effect. Methyl salicylate actuates blood flow by dilating blood vessels and imparts a counter-irritation effect on the skin, resulting in a soothing warmth that can alleviate musculoskeletal pain. Lastly, menthol gives a cooling sensation on the skin before inducing warmth.

Nocinix Gel is used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and osteoarthritis. It effectively reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, thereby improving your ability to move and flex the joint. Osteoarthritis is a long-term musculoskeletal joint disorder that causes damage to the cartilage and surrounding tissues characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function.

Nocinix Gel contains diclofenac, linseed oil, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate work by lowering hormones in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Linseed oil inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol is a soothing and cooling agent which provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels. Together, Nocinix Gel helps relieve mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.

Nocinix Gel is only for external use. Use Nocinix Gel for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

Nocinix Gel is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl Salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Linseed oil possesses an anti-inflammatory action that inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol is a soothing and cooling agent which provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Nocinix Gel helps relieve mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
