Aceclofenac+linseed Oil+menthol+methyl Salicylate
About
Aceclofenac+linseed Oil+menthol+methyl Salicylate 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.
Aceclofenac+linseed Oil+menthol+methyl Salicylate contains Aceclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Linseed oil, and Menthol. Aceclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Linseed oil helps in reducing inflammation. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Aceclofenac+linseed Oil+menthol+methyl Salicylate helps in providing relief from pain.
