Olfen Gel

Olfen Gel is a topical medication used to relieve pain and inflammation resulting from conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, and sports injuries. It contains the active ingredient Diclofenac Sodium, which belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces the production of pain and inflammation-causing chemicals. This leads to pain relief and improved movement in the affected areas. Olfen Gel is effectively used in treating joint and muscle pain and is considered a safe and effective option for many patients.
