Doil Liniment

Doil Liniment may be used 2 to 4 times a day on the affected area depending on how severe your condition is. It should be applied slowly and evenly to the skin until it is rubbed in. You should not use it too often and you should not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster.

It is a safe medicine with few side effects, but you may get a skin rash, itching, reddening or burning of the skin. Occasionally a skin rash may be a sign of severe allergic reaction. Tell your doctor straight away if you get a rash with blistering. Doil Liniment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and you should not use it if you are already taking diclofenac (or other similar) tablets.

• Pain relief

• Doil Liniment is applied to the skin to relieve inflammation and pain of joints and muscles.
• It is less likely to cause stomach side effects as compared to oral medication.
• Gently massage it into the skin of the affected area.
• Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages as these may increase the risk of side effects.
• Do not apply to broken, diseased, infected, inflamed or irritated skin, or to open wounds.
• Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
• It may increase the risk of sunburn. Avoid exposing the treated area of skin to excessive sunlight.
