DipenCool Plaster and DipenHot Plaster by Shinil Pharm are topical pain-relief patches designed to reduce pain and inflammation.
These products are commonly used for various musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and tendinitis.
A key feature is the availability of both cooling and warming types, allowing users to choose the most suitable option based on their symptoms.
In this post, we will take a closer look at the ingredients, therapeutic effects, mechanism of action, recommended users, directions for use, key advantages, and real user experiences.
1. Overview of DipenCool, DipenHot, and DipenActive Plasters
- DipenCool Plaster
Focuses on rapid relief of acute pain through a cooling sensation. - DipenHot Plaster
Uses warming stimulation to improve local blood circulation and relieve chronic pain and muscle stiffness.
All three products are topical anti-inflammatory analgesic patches manufactured by Shinil Pharm.
They share a common active ingredient, diclofenac sodium, which provides localized anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
2. Key Ingredients and Therapeutic Effects
- DipenCool / DipenHot Plaster:
Diclofenac Sodium (BP) 15 mg - DipenActive Plaster:
Diclofenac Sodium 6 mg
These products may help relieve pain associated with:
- Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)
- Periarthritis of the shoulder (frozen shoulder)
- Tendinitis and tenosynovitis
- Peritendinitis
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
- Muscle pain
- Post-traumatic swelling and pain
Topical application allows the medication to act directly on the affected area while minimizing systemic side effects.
3. Mechanism of Action
The effectiveness of DipenCool and DipenHot Plasters comes from the combined mechanisms below:
🔹 Diclofenac Sodium
Inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in inflammation, reducing prostaglandin production.
This leads to decreased pain, swelling, and heat at the site of inflammation.
🔹 L-Menthol (primarily in DipenCool)
Stimulates cold-sensitive receptors (TRPM8) in the skin, slowing pain signal transmission and providing a sensory blocking effect.
It offers fast, noticeable relief in acute pain accompanied by swelling or heat.
🔹 Warming Agents (primarily in DipenHot)
Promote local vasodilation, increase blood flow, relax tense muscles, and help relieve chronic pain and stiffness.
🔹 Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate)
Supports peripheral circulation and provides antioxidant effects, helping create a favorable environment for tissue recovery.
Together, these actions aim to achieve:
Inflammation control → Pain reduction → Improved joint and muscle mobility
