DICLOFENAC+METHYL SALICYLATE+MENTHOL+ABSOLUTE ALCOHOL 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. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.
DICLOFENAC+METHYL SALICYLATE+MENTHOL+ABSOLUTE ALCOHOL contains Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Menthol and Absolute alcohol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin (PG). By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Menthol and Absolute alcohol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, DICLOFENAC+METHYL SALICYLATE+MENTHOL+ABSOLUTE ALCOHOL helps in providing relief from pain.
