Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Inflatherm Work?
- Inhibiting the production of prostaglandins: Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. Diclofenac blocks the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins.
- Reducing inflammation: By lowering prostaglandin levels, Inflatherm helps to alleviate pain and swelling in the affected area.
Common Dosages
- Topical gel: 1.5% diclofenac sodium, applied to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Inflatherm gel to the affected area and gently rub it in until fully absorbed. The recommended frequency is 2 to 4 times daily, based on the healthcare provider's instructions.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Relief of pain associated with osteoarthritis
- Relief of pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis
- Management of acute musculoskeletal pain (e.g., strains, sprains)
Who Shouldn't Take Inflatherm?
- Known hypersensitivity to diclofenac or any components of the formulation.
