Aldigesic Gel

Uses

Aldigesic Gel is used for the following conditions:

• Joint pain (like arthritis or osteoarthritis)
• Muscle pain
• Back pain
• Sprains and strains
• Sports injuries
• Localized inflammation

Benefits

• Localized pain relief: Being a topical gel, it provides direct relief at the application site without significant systemic absorption.
• Reduces inflammation: Helps in reducing swelling and inflammation.
• Minimizes gastrointestinal side effects: Compared to oral NSAIDs, topical gels have fewer chances of causing stomach issues like ulcers.
• Convenient to use: Easily applied and non-invasive, making it a convenient option for quick relief.

Side Effects

Though Aldigesic Gel has fewer systemic side effects than oral medications, it can still cause some localized and rare reactions:

• Skin irritation: Redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site.
• Rashes or dermatitis: Some users may develop a skin rash or allergic reaction.
• Photosensitivity: Increased sensitivity to sunlight, which may lead to sunburn in the applied area.
• Systemic absorption-related side effects (rare): If a large amount is applied or if used over a prolonged period, it could theoretically lead to systemic effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, or headache.
