About VOVILUP GEL

VOVILUP GEL relieves 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. 

VOVILUP GEL contains Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, Linseed Oil, and Menthol. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate are painkillers that block the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Capsaicin is a natural chilli pepper extract that works by blocking the pain messengers of the nerves. Linseed oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which inhibit inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes (LK), 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, VOVILUP GEL helps relieve mild to moderate pain in various types of musculoskeletal and joint conditions. 

VOVILUP GEL is for external use only. Apply a pea-sized amount onto your fingers to the affected areas. You are advised to use VOVILUP GEL for as long as your doctor prescribes it, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as reaction to the application site, such as itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

VOVILUP GEL may increase the risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart surgery, do not use VOVILUP GEL. VOVILUP GEL increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. VOVILUP GEL is not recommended for children below 14 years as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid or limit exposure to natural or artificial sunlight as VOVILUP GEL may cause ultraviolet light-induced skin tumours. Do not take any other NSAIDs for pain relief along with VOVILUP GEL unless prescribed.

Uses of VOVILUP GEL

Treatment of Musculoskeletal pain and inflammation.

Key Benefits

VOVILUP GEL is a combination of five drugs: Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, Linseed Oil, and Menthol. VOVILUP GEL is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers of the nerves. Linseed oil helps in reducing inflammation. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, VOVILUP GEL helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.
