A naturally occurring chemical compound found in chili peppers, known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. it works by depleting substance p, a neurotransmitter involved in pain transmission.
A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which possess anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve skin hydration and reduce irritation.
A naturally occurring compound with cooling and analgesic effects. it works by activating cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, providing temporary relief from pain and itching.
A synthetic derivative of salicylic acid, also known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. it works similarly to other salicylates by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Relief of mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain, such as back pain, arthritis pain, and muscle strains.
Treatment of localized inflammation associated with these conditions.
This topical formulation combines multiple mechanisms of action to provide multifaceted pain and inflammation relief. Capsaicin depletes substance P, while diclofenac, methyl salicylate, and linseed oil exhibit anti-inflammatory actions through different pathways. Menthol provides a cooling sensation, further reducing pain perception.
