Paintol Gel

Paintol Gel is a pain-relieving medicine used to treat pain, swelling, and stiffness in muscles and joints caused by sprains, strains, back pain, sports injuries, and arthritis. It works by reducing the production of substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Paintol Gel should be applied directly to the affected area, or as advised by your doctor. Wash your hands after application unless they are the treated area. Use it regularly for the recommended duration to help achieve the best result. Rest the affected part, avoid strain, and follow any advised exercises or physiotherapy to help improve recovery.

Common side effects are usually mild and occur at the site of application. These may include redness, itching, burning sensation, or skin irritation. These effects often improve as the skin adjusts to the medicine. Do not apply more than the advised amount, as that will not provide faster relief and may increase the risk of side effects.

Paintol Gel should not be applied to broken skin, open wounds, infected areas, or near the eyes, mouth, or nose. The treated area should not be covered with tight bandages unless advised by a doctor. People with a known allergy to diclofenac, aspirin, or other pain-relieving medicines should avoid using it. Caution is needed in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and medical advice should be taken before use.
