Ecofen Gel

Ecofen Gel is a topical pain relief medication designed to provide fast and effective relief from muscle and joint pain. It combines four active ingredients—Diclofenac Diethylamine (1.16% w/w), Methyl Salicylate (10% w/w), Oleum Lini (3% w/w), and Menthol (5% w/w)—that work together to reduce inflammation, soothe pain, and relax stiff muscles. Ecofen Gel is commonly used for conditions such as back pain, sprains, strains, arthritis, and sports injuries. It is applied directly to the skin for targeted relief with minimal systemic side effects.

How Ecofen Gel works

Ecofen Gel works by combining anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and soothing agents. Diclofenac reduces inflammation and pain at the affected site. Methyl Salicylate enhances blood flow and adds warmth to ease soreness. Menthol provides a cooling effect that distracts from pain signals, while Oleum Lini (linseed oil) promotes deeper penetration and adds anti-inflammatory support. Together, they deliver fast-acting relief directly where it's needed.
