Omnigel is used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and the symptoms of osteoarthritis. It effectively reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, helping improve movement and flexibility in the affected joint. Osteoarthritis is a long-term joint disorder that damages cartilage and surrounding tissues, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function.
Omnigel contains four key ingredients: diclofenac, linseed oil, methyl salicylate, and menthol. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate work by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain. Linseed oil helps decrease inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes. Menthol provides a soothing, cooling sensation by dilating blood vessels. Together, these ingredients help relieve mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
Omnigel is for external use only. Use it as prescribed by your doctor, based on your medical condition. Common side effects include itching, irritation, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and subside over time. However, if they persist, consult your doctor.
Avoid using Omnigel if you have a skin reaction or irritation to any medication. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using it. Do not use more than the prescribed dose or for longer than recommended, as this may cause adverse effects. Inform your doctor about your health condition and any other medications you are taking to avoid potential side effects. Do not take other NSAIDs for pain relief while using Omnigel unless advised by your doctor. Omnigel is not recommended for children under 14 years of age, as its safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established.
