About CAMPHOR+DICLOFENAC SODIUM+EUCALYPTUS OIL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE+OLEORESIN CAPSICUM

CAMPHOR+DICLOFENAC SODIUM+EUCALYPTUS OIL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE+OLEORESIN CAPSICUM is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure, or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Arthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.

CAMPHOR+DICLOFENAC SODIUM+EUCALYPTUS OIL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE+OLEORESIN CAPSICUM is a combination of six drugs, namely: Diclofenac sodium, Oleoresin capsicum, Methyl salicylate, Eucalyptus oil, Camphor, and Menthol. Diclofenac sodium and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Oleoresin capsicum exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. Eucalyptus oil helps in reducing inflammation. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. Together, CAMPHOR+DICLOFENAC SODIUM+EUCALYPTUS OIL+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE+OLEORESIN CAPSICUM helps in providing relief from pain.
