Description
Menthol + Camphor + Methyl Salicylate + Oleoresin Capsicum is a topical medication that relife pain and inflammation caused by musculoskeletal disorders such as strains, sprains, arthritis, low back pain, and neck pain. It contains capsaicin, methyl salicylate, menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, and diclofenac. Capsaicin reduces pain by lowering the levels of a chemical that is normally involved in transmitting pain signals from nerve endings to the brain. Menthol + Camphor + Methyl Salicylate + Oleoresin Capsicum works synergistically to provide pain relief. The cooling sensation of menthol and camphor distracts from the pain, while the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of methyl salicylate and oleoresin capsicum reduce pain and inflammation.
Indications
Menthol + Camphor + Methyl Salicylate + Oleoresin Capsicum can help to promote healing in the affected area by reducing pain and inflammation.
Mechanism of action
Methyl salicylic acid is similar to that of Aspirin that shows anesthetic properties by blocking the voltage-operated sodium channels in pain-receptor neurons. Menthol molecule binds and stimulates the TRPM-8 receptor protein that produces a sensation of cold (pain in extreme cases) when stimulated. Camphor is approved by the FDA for topical use as a pain reliever and anesthetic. It acts as a counterirritant and numbs the nerve endings, preventing the transmission of pain sensations.
