Setolac Gel
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Setolac Gel is a topical medicine used to reduce inflammation and pain associated with muscular pain. It is particularly effective for conditions such as sprains, strains, and everyday muscle fatigue. It promotes the relaxation of tense muscles and improves mobility.

Linseed oil helps reduce inflammation and improves absorption, and methyl salicylate creates a warming sensation that penetrates deeply to alleviate pain.
