Scorpio Gel is a combination medicine used topically to relieve pain. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. It also improves blood circulation at the site of application and produces a cooling effect on the skin.
Scorpio Gel is for external use only. Use it in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not use more than the prescribed amount, as it might increase the side effects. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the medicine, unless your hands are the affected area.
On application, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application. If any of these do not subside on their own or get worse, let your doctor know. They may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the side effects.
Before taking the medicine, always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have any medical conditions. Also, let your doctor know if you are using any other medications.

How Scorpio Gel works
Scorpio Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac diethylamine, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate and Menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Menthol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil is a plant-based oil which further reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation at the site of application. It also increases the penetration of Diclofenac diethylamine through the skin. Methyl Salicylate produces a cooling effect on the skin.

Shake out clothing and shoes to dislodge any scorpions, wearing clothing that covers the body (for example, wearing gloves and tucking in pant legs into boots may limit exposure). Many pesticides that are commercially used outside on homes may make some scorpions sluggish and easier to kill before they can sting. In addition, pesticides may markedly reduce the food source of scorpions. If a scorpion is seen or felt on the skin, it is better to brush it off quickly instead of slapping at it because the scorpion will likely sting if the slap does not kill it. Scorpions glow (fluoresce) under UV light (black light), so if a person is doing tasks in areas where scorpions might reside (dark areas like a closet or underneath a porch), people can use a black light to find them before they sting. This technique can be used in homes at night when scorpions are more active and may be found on the floors or wallsYour queries were being answered by paediatrician Pranav Gupta.
