How Counterpain Gel 15g works
Diclofenac + Methyl Salicylate + Menthol + Oleum Lini is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac , Methyl Salicylate , Menthol and Oleum Lini. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (sweling). Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This action improves blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain. Oleum Lini is a plant-based oil which reduces swelling and improves blood circulation. Additionally, it increases the penetration of Diclofenac through the skin.
