Volitra Plus 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.
Volitra Plus 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, Volitra Plus Gel helps relieve mild to moderate pain in various types of musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
