Acycor Plus Gel (Methylsalycylate) x30gm

Acycor Plus Gel is a topical pain-relief formulation containing Aceclofenac (1.5%), Linseed Oil (3.0%), Methylsalicylate (10.0%), and Capsaicin (0.01%). This multi-ingredient gel provides anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects for localized muscle and joint pain.

The gel provides targeted relief without systemic medication effects.

• Delivers targeted pain relief at application site

• Minimizes systemic side effects compared to oral NSAIDs
• Easy application with quick absorption
• Suitable for chronic pain management
• Non-greasy formulation for daily use

How It Works

Aceclofenac reduces inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes. Methylsalicylate provides counterirritant and anti-inflammatory effects. Linseed oil acts as a penetration enhancer and provides moisturizing properties. Capsaicin depletes substance P from nerve endings, reducing pain signal transmission to create comprehensive topical analgesia.

Dosage

Apply thin layer to affected area and gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly after application unless treating hands.

Duration of Action

Acycor Plus Gel begins working within 15-30 minutes of application. Pain relief typically lasts 4-6 hours per application. Maximum benefits develop after 7-14 days of regular use. Effects may persist for 1-2 hours after the active duration due to tissue penetration.

Side Effects

Most users experience minimal side effects with topical application. Possible reactions include mild skin irritation, redness, or burning sensation at application site. Rare cases may involve allergic contact dermatitis. Capsaicin may initially cause temporary warming or tingling sensation.

Warning

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Do not apply to large areas of skin or use occlusive dressings. Discontinue if severe skin irritation develops. Not recommended for children under 12 years without medical supervision.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Limited systemic absorption makes Acycor Plus Gel generally safer than oral NSAIDs during pregnancy. However, consult healthcare provider before use, especially in third trimester. Minimal amounts likely pass into breast milk, but medical advice is recommended for nursing mothers.

Interaction

• Limited interactions due to minimal systemic absorption
• Avoid concurrent use with other topical medications on same area
• May enhance effects if used with oral NSAIDs
• Potential sensitivity with other capsaicin-containing products
• Generally safe with most systemic medications

Precaution

Test on small skin area before first use to check for sensitivity. Avoid contact with clothing immediately after application as it may stain. Do not use on infected or severely damaged skin. Patients with aspirin allergy should use cautiously due to methylsalicylate content.
