Nanofast Gel 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. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.

Nanofast Gel contains Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Menthol and Absolute alcohol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin (PG). By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Menthol and Absolute alcohol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Nanofast Gel helps in providing relief from pain.

Nanofast Gel is for external use only. Use Nanofast Gel as prescribed. You are advised to use Nanofast Gel 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.

Nanofast Gel can increase your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart surgery, do not use Nanofast Gel. Nanofast Gel increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Consult a doctor before using Nanofast Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Nanofast Gel is not recommended for children below 14years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established.
