Menthol

A natural compound found in mint plants that provides a cooling sensation, which can help to relieve pain.

Relief of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as:

Back pain

Neck pain

This drug formulation works by combining the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of its ingredients. Diclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and swelling. Capsaicin depletes substance P, a neurotransmitter that transmits pain signals. Methyl salicylate and menthol act as counterirritants, diverting attention from the pain. Linseed oil moisturizes and soothes the skin, helping to reduce irritation.

Store the medication in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area as needed, up to 4 times a day.

Gently massage the medication into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the medication.
