Product introduction

Maha Rub Oil helps in relieving pain. It works by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts the patient from pain. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation.

Maha Rub Oil is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Rub a thin layer of the medicine into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid applying it on wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse it with plenty of cold water.

Use of this medicine may cause common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application in some people. Usually, the side effects will slowly go away as your body gets used to it. If they get worse or do not go away, you should let your doctor know.

Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine to be safe. You should also let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions or disorders to make sure it is safe. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of Maha Rub Oil

Benefits of Maha Rub Oil

In Pain relief

Maha Rub Oil gives fast relief from pain and swelling in the muscles and joints by creating a cooling-warming effect. It works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the pain in your muscles and joints. Alltogether, it will help you do your daily activities without much problem. Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times a day and rub in gently and thoroughly. Along with medications, you can also do some light exercises or take physical therapy to get relief from pain.

Side effects of Maha Rub Oil

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

  • Burning sensation

How to use Maha Rub Oil

This is for external use only. Apply and massage the oil in a circular motion using your fingertips so that it is absorbed into the skin.

How Maha Rub Oil works

Maha Rub Oil is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol and Oleum Lini. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (sweling). Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This action improves blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain. Oleum Lini is a plant-based oil which reduces swelling and improves blood circulation. Additionally, it increases the penetration of Diclofenac through the skin.
