Description

The Freegel is a topical application gel to relieve discomfort and pain associated with recent muscle or joint injuries. It's beneficial for individuals with chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.

This gel is formulated with key ingredients that effectively manage pain. Diclofenac diethylamine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aids in reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. Linseed oil helps soothe sore muscles, while methyl salicylate reduces inflammation. Menthol delivers a soothing effect and helps lower the sensation of pain.

As a result, Freegel Gel offers a multi-faceted approach to pain management by addressing different aspects of discomfort – from acute muscular pain to chronic conditions. Its consistent use can significantly enhance your comfort levels, enabling you to carry out your day-to-day activities efficiently.
