Sumo Gel is commonly used to manage pain, swelling, and stiffness brought on by musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and injuries. This topical pain medication is a combination medicine that falls under the category of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

In addition to its primary use, it also offers temporary relief for minor aches and pains linked to backaches and muscle soreness. It can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with muscle stiffness or bruises caused by a physical strain or injury.

Before you start using this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor, who will guide you on the correct dosage and frequency. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before you start using them. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor promptly. For best results, continue using the gel for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

You may experience the following side effects when using Sumo Gel:

Skin irritation or redness at the location where you apply the gel
A burning or stinging sensation upon application
Dry skin, which means your skin might feel a little rough or flaky

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolves on discontinuing the use of Sumo Gel. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips to manage common side effects:

Skin irritation or redness: If Sumo Gel causes skin irritation or redness, you could try applying it at bedtime so your skin has time to recover overnight.
Burning or stinging sensation: If experiencing a burning or stinging sensation upon application, consider applying the gel after a cool shower when your skin is clean and cooled down.

Sumo Gel contains four active ingredients that work together to relieve pain and reduce inflammation:

Diclofenac Diethylamine (1.16%): As an NSAID, diclofenac diethylamine inhibits the production of prostaglandins. These are substances in your body that contribute to pain and inflammation.
Linseed Oil (3%): Derived from flaxseeds, linseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They can help reduce swelling and discomfort when applied topically.
Menthol (5%): Extracted from mint plants, menthol creates a cooling effect on your skin that distracts from pain sensations. It also boosts blood flow to the area it's applied to, potentially aiding in the healing process.
Methyl Salicylate (10%): This compound is similar to aspirin and has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. When applied topically, methyl salicylate is absorbed through the skin and works to reduce pain and inflammation in the tissues underneath.
