About Systaflam Spray 55 gm
Systaflam Spray 55 gm belongs to a class of NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). It is primarily used to relieve joint pain from arthritis. Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness (pain on touching) of one or more joints characterized by joint pain and stiffness, typically worsening with age. It can affect one joint or more than one joint at a time. There are many types of arthritis in which two are most common. One is rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Systaflam Spray 55 gm is a combination of five medicines: Diclofenac, Mephenesin, Menthol, Turpentine oil and Methyl salicylate. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation redness and swelling. Mephenesin is a muscle relaxant (relaxes the muscle and to treat the muscle pain). It works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle hardness or spasm and improve pain and movement of muscles. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (applied directly to relieve pain). They work initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This action helps in improving blood circulation and provides relief from the pain. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.
Systaflam Spray 55 gm is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Make sure to wash your hands before using this ointment. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the ointment sufficiently enough to cover the affected area. Wash your hands after applying the ointment unless hands are the affected area. Avoid getting the ointment in contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Do not apply it to wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact, immediately rinse it with cold water. Like all medicines, Systaflam Spray 55 gm can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
