Diproxen Gel 10% w/w contains Naproxen Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for topical use. It is designed to provide effective relief from localized pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with musculoskeletal disorders, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries. Unlike oral NSAIDs, Diproxen Gel delivers the active ingredient directly to the affected area, reducing systemic exposure and minimizing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

The gel works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins, the chemical mediators that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. When applied topically, Naproxen penetrates the skin to target inflamed tissues, providing fast-acting and sustained relief in conditions like arthritis, sprains, strains, and back pain.
