SUMO SPRAY

INTRODUCTION

SUMO contains Diclofenac which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which reduces pain and inflammation. It is used for the local symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and inflammation following acute blunt trauma of small and medium-sized joints and surrounding structures.

Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory with analgesic properties. It inhibits the enzyme, cyclooxygenase (COX), which is an early component of the arachidonic acid cascade, resulting in the reduced formation of prostaglandins, thromboxanes and prostacylin.

It is not suitable for use in children and adolescents below 14 years of age. The common side effects are skin redness, inflammation or swelling.

If the irritation persists, contact your doctor.
