Motusol 1.16% Diclofenac Gel

Motusol Topical Pain Relief Gel – Diclofenac 1% Gel

Motusol is a topical gel containing the active ingredient Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to relieve mild to moderate pain and inflammation caused by acute sprains, strains, contusions (bruises), and blunt trauma. This gel targets the pain and swelling directly at the application site for fast, effective relief.

Key Benefits of Motusol:

• Fast Localized Pain Relief: Motusol provides targeted relief for pain caused by sprains, strains, and bruises.
• Reduces Inflammation: Diclofenac is an NSAID that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of pain-causing hormones.
• Convenient Gel Form: The gel is easy to apply and quickly absorbed into the skin, without the need for oral medication.

How to Use Motusol:

1. Application: Apply Motusol to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Use a small amount of gel, about 1-4g (cherry to walnut-sized), depending on the size of the affected area.
2. Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 16g of gel per day.
3. Rubbing the Gel: Gently rub the gel into the skin until it is absorbed. Be sure to wash your hands after applying the gel (unless your hands are being treated).
4. Duration of Use: Do not use Motusol for more than 1 week without consulting a healthcare provider. If symptoms persist or do not improve after 3-5 days, speak to your doctor.

How Does Diclofenac Work?

• NSAID Action: Diclofenac works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, hormones that are involved in causing pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. When applied topically, Motusol works directly at the site of pain without affecting the whole body, making it a convenient and localized treatment.

Is Motusol Suitable for Children?

• Age Restrictions: Motusol is suitable for adults and children over the age of 14. It should not be used on children under 14 years old. Consult a doctor or pharmacist for suitable pain relief alternatives for children under 14.

Is Motusol Suitable for Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women?

• Pregnancy: Motusol should not be used during the third trimester of pregnancy, as it may harm the unborn child or cause complications during birth.
• Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this product to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Use as Directed: Always follow the instructions provided in the patient information leaflet or by your healthcare provider.
