This drug formulation combines the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of ibuprofen with the muscle relaxant properties of mephenesin and the soothing sensation of menthol and methyl salicylate. Ibuprofen works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. Mephenesin relaxes muscles by interfering with nerve impulses that cause muscle spasms. Menthol and methyl salicylate provide a cooling and soothing effect, which can help to reduce pain and discomfort.
