About Zobid 4x Topical Solution

Zobid 4x Topical Solution is 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. 
 
Zobid 4x Topical Solution is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Alcohol. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Alcohol enhances the transdermal penetration of diclofenac. Together, Zobid 4x Topical Solution helps in providing relief from pain.
 
In some cases, Zobid 4x Topical Solution may cause 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.
 
Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Zobid 4x Topical Solution is not recommended for children below 14 years.

Medicinal Benefits

Zobid 4x Topical Solution is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Alcohol. Zobid 4x Topical Solution is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain.

By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Alcohol enhances the transdermal penetration of diclofenac. Together, Zobid 4x Topical Solution helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.
