About Sumo Spray

Sumo Spray is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments. Arthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.

Sumo Spray contains Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, Eucalyptus oil, Camphor and Menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers of the nerves. Eucalyptus oil helps in reducing inflammation. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. Together, Sumo Spray helps in providing relief from pain.

You are advised to use Sumo Spray for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you have had any recent heart surgery as Sumo Spray may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. Sumo Spray may increase the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Sumo Spray is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established.
