How it Works

Kvik Plus Gel is a combination of four medicines: Aceclofenac, Linoleic Acid, Menthol and Methyl Salicylate. Aceclofenac 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). Linoleic Acid, Menthol and Methyl Salicylate are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action distracts from feeling the pain in the joints and muscles.
