Flexabenz Gel

Flexabenz Gel is a combination of Diclofenac, Linseed Oil, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate, and Cyclobenzaprine. It is a painkiller that provides relief from the pain associated with muscle spasms such as low back pain, neck pain, sprains/strains, etc.

Flexabenz Gel works by relaxing your muscles and preventing muscle contraction. It also prevents the release of chemical substances that cause pain and swelling in your body.

Flexabenz Gel should be applied on the affected part of your skin as directed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine on broken or damaged skin.
