Movelat Gel information

  • What is Movelat Gel and what is it used for?

    Movelat Gel is a specialised topical gel that contains two active ingredients: mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS) (0.2%) and salicylic acid (2.0%). This gel provides effective relief from various conditions and can be used for the following purposes:

    1. Alleviating inflammation and pain in strains and sprains.
    2. Easing muscle stiffness and discomfort.
    3. Soothing inflammation and pain in non-serious arthritic conditions, as well as cases of rheumatic pain.

    The unique formulation of Movelat Gel allows it to penetrate beneath the skin's surface. By combining the power of MPS, an anti-inflammatory agent, with salicylic acid, which enhances absorption, this gel ensures easier penetration through the outer layer of the skin. The salicylic acid aids in softening the skin, while the MPS is absorbed, working synergistically to provide targeted relief to the affected areas.

    Manufactured by Genus Pharmaceuticals, Movelat Gel is available for both adults and children aged 12 years and above. To utilise its benefits, simply apply the gel to the skin surrounding the affected areas up to four times daily.

    How does Movelat Gel work?

    Movelat Gel is formulated with two potent active ingredients: mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS) and salicylic acid. MPS serves as an anti-inflammatory agent and pain reliever by effectively reducing the production of leukotriene and prostaglandins. These naturally occurring substances are generated by the body in response to injuries and certain diseases, contributing to pain, swelling, and inflammation. When Movelat Gel, enriched with MPS, is applied to the affected areas, it effectively mitigates the discomfort and diminishes pain.

    The inclusion of salicylic acid in Movelat Gel further enhances the skin-penetrating capabilities of MPS. By breaking down keratin, a protein component of the skin's structure, salicylic acid facilitates the shedding of the outer layer of the skin. This process not only promotes the removal of dead skin cells but also creates a smoother pathway for the gel to penetrate and exert its beneficial effects.

    Choose Movelat Gel for effective relief, harnessing the combined power of MPS and salicylic acid. Embrace the opportunity to experience comfort and alleviate pain.

    Movelat Gel FAQs

    • Movelats unique formula helps it direct itself to the where it is needed and so quickly relieves pain.

      There is less of a risk with side-effects, as the unique formula of movelat allows it to go to the point it is needed, rather than circulate in the body, which is often the case with other painkillers.

    • MPS stands for Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate. This is the anti-inflammatory and analgesic component in this medication.

    • In movelat, the combination of its two active ingredients means that the anti-inflammatory works quicker than others, as it goes straight to the area of concern to give that much needed pain relief.
