About Brufen Products
Brufen Products side effects
Common
Side Effect of Brufen is Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness).
How Brufen Products work
Diclofenac + Methyl Salicylate + Menthol is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate and Menthol which relieve pain. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain.
