How it works
Vivinac Touch-On 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. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers) that 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.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Vivinac Touch-On to get relief from pain. Apply 2-3 times daily or as prescribed by the doctor. Do not apply to large areas of skin or near sensitive areas such as private parts or on broken or injured skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, and rinse thoroughly in case of accidental contact or seek medical help in case of swallowing. Avoid applying Vivinac Touch-On right after bathing or shaving. Consult your doctor if you get excessive skin irritation or other unwanted effects.
