Quick overview

Volini Gel is a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac Diethylamine, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, and Linseed Oil. It belongs to the NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) class and is applied to the skin to relieve pain and swelling from muscle and joint problems. It is used for conditions such as arthritis-related joint pain, muscle sprains and strains, and mild to moderate pain in areas like the back, neck, shoulder, calf, and wrist.

What is Volini Gel

How Volini Gel works

Diclofenac is absorbed through the skin and reduces the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. Methyl Salicylate and Menthol create cooling and warming sensations on the skin that help distract from and soothe pain.

Volini Gel dosage

Wash and dry the affected area before applying the gel. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently rub it in. Do not cover the area or apply a hot bag to it after application. Keep the area away from water for at least 1 hour to prevent the medicine from getting rinsed off. Wash your hands after applying the medicine, unless you are treating your hands. Do not apply right before, during, or after activities that raise skin temperature such as bathing, swimming, or heavy exercise; wait until your skin has cooled before applying. Apply only to intact skin, not to wounds or open injuries. For external use only; do not swallow it.
