Product introduction

Terpain Gel is a combination medicine that 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.

Terpain Gel 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.

Using 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.

Benefits of Terpain Gel

In Pain relief

Terpain Gel 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.

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.

How to use Terpain Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Terpain Gel works

Terpain Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol and Linseed Oil which relieves pain and inflammation. 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, fever, and inflammation (redness). Capsaicin works by blocking pain messages to the nerves. This relieves minor aches and pains in the muscles and joints. Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin and then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action distracts from feeling the pain.
