DFO RED LINIMENT 50ML

About

DFO Red Liniment 50ML is a potent topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory preparation, primarily featuring diclofenac, a well-established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This liniment is specifically engineered for localized application, providing targeted relief from pain and reducing inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Diclofenac exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are instrumental in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins—key biochemical mediators responsible for initiating and perpetuating pain, inflammation, and fever. The liniment formulation allows for direct and efficient delivery of the active ingredient to the affected area, ensuring high local concentrations while significantly minimizing systemic exposure and the associated potential side effects. This makes it an effective and preferred option for symptomatic relief in conditions such as sprains, strains, bruises, and localized arthritic pain, promoting faster recovery and improved mobility.
