Dynapar QPS Spray is a topical solution used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. It contains Diclofenac, along with other ingredients like Menthol and Methyl Salicylate, which enhance its analgesic effects.
Key Features
- Active Ingredients:
- Diclofenac: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation.
- Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation and additional pain relief.
- Methyl Salicylate: Acts as a counterirritant, enhancing the penetration of Diclofenac into the skin.
- Formulation: Available in a 30ml spray bottle for easy application.
Indications
Dynapar QPS Spray is indicated for:
- Musculoskeletal Pain: Effective for conditions such as arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.
- Post-operative Pain: Provides relief from pain following surgical procedures.
- Acute Pain Conditions: Useful for managing acute pain due to trauma or strain.
Mechanism of Action
Diclofenac works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. The combination of Menthol and Methyl Salicylate helps enhance the absorption of Diclofenac through the skin, providing targeted relief at the site of application.
