Uses of Sofac Gel 20gm

Sofac Gel 20gm is used for muscle and joint pain, back pain, sprains and strains, and osteoarthritis pain in the knees or hands.

How Sofac Gel 20gm works

Diclofenac blocks the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that the body uses to make prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation, so lowering them reduces all three. Delayed-release and sustained-release forms release the medicine slowly for longer relief.

Possible side effects

Common side effects of Sofac Gel 20gm include:

• Redness, itching or a mild rash where it is applied

Stop using it and see a doctor if you get a widespread rash, wheezing or swelling.

• Apply it to unbroken skin only and wash your hands afterwards.
• Do not use it with heat pads or under tight bandages.
• Avoid strong sunlight on the treated area.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma triggered by aspirin or painkillers, or if you are pregnant.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
