Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol
About
Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol belongs to the class of medications called 'Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs' (NSAID) 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.

Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol contains Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, Linseed, and Menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate are pain killers which work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Capsaicin is a natural extract of chilli pepper which work by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. Linseed oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties which inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes (LK), thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol is a soothing and cooling agent which provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol helps provide relief from mild to moderate pain in various types of musculoskeletal and joint conditions.

Uses of Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol
Medicinal Benefits
Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol is a combination of five drugs: Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, Linseed, and Menthol. Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Diclofenac and Methyl salicylate work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. 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, Capsaicin+diclofenac+linseed+methyl Salicylate+menthol helps in providing relief from pain and inflammation.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Musculoskeletal pain: Musculoskeletal pain affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It can be acute or chronic, can be localised or wide-spread. The pain can be mild or severe enough to interfere with your daily routine. 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. Symptoms of musculoskeletal pain include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, soreness, cracking or popping sound at the joints.
Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
