About 30g Linseed Oil Diclofenac Sodium Methyl Salicylate Capsaicin And Menthol Gel
This gel is a topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication that combines the effects of five active ingredients: Linseed Oil, Diclofenac Sodium, Methyl Salicylate, Capsaicin, and Menthol. It's primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders, such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and back pain.
Key Ingredients and Their Effects:
- Diclofenac Sodium: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and thereby decreasing pain and inflammation.
- Methyl Salicylate: Acts as a counterirritant, producing a warming sensation that distracts from pain perception. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
- Capsaicin: Initially causes a burning sensation, but subsequently desensitizes nociceptors, reducing pain transmission.
- Menthol: Creates a cooling sensation, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
- Linseed Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and facilitate skin penetration of other ingredients.
