Pharmacology

This cream is a specially formulated Methyl salicylate, Menthol and Camphor cream. It penetrates into skin to provide fast relief from pain and stiffness of minor arthritis and muscle aches. It alleviates pain and inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins that occur in inflamed tissues. Methyl salicylate has been shown that first pass metabolism exists in the skin and rapidly hydrolyzing salicylate ester to release the active salicylate in both epidermis and dermis. Menthol increases the penetration of drugs when applied on the skin to give a faster onset of action. It dilates the blood vessels causing a sensation of coldness followed by an analgesic effect. Camphor is a stimulant, used topically to increase local blood flow and as a 'counterirritant', which reduces pain & swelling. When in combination with other ingredients like menthol, methyl salicylate, it becomes ideal for neuralgia and other painful areas.
