    Introduction About OXALGIN NANO SPRAY

    OXALGIN NANO SPRAY contains Diclofenac, which belongs to the group of medicines called Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It is used to manage pain and inflammation related to muscle and joint injuries (Ex. sprains, strains, bruises, sports injuries, backache), tendonitis (Ex. tennis elbow), osteoarthritis (flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down), swelling around the elbow or knee, or post-trauma.

    If you are using OXALGIN NANO SPRAY for arthritis, your doctor may want to review your management regularly. If the pain and swelling do not improve within 7 days or if they worsen, inform your doctor. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames, as there might be a risk of severe burns.

    OXALGIN NANO SPRAY is not recommended for use in patients having kidney failure, severe joint pain of recent onset (unrelated to an injury or period of overuse), illness, fever, or any other symptoms along with the pain. Before using OXALGIN NANO SPRAY, inform your doctor if you have any stomach or bowel ulcer, asthma, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems.

    OXALGIN NANO SPRAY is not recommended for use in pregnancy (especially in the last 3 months) and should be used in breastfeeding women only under medical advice. OXALGIN NANO SPRAY is not recommended for use in children and adolescents (below 14 years of age).
