ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE
About ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE
ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE belongs to a class of medications called 'topical analgesic' (pain killer) primarily used to relieve joint pain, low back pain, muscle sprain and sports injuries. Besides this, it also reduces pain and swelling in muscles and joints in the conditions of joint disorders like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.
ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is a combination of four drugs: Aceclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate, and Menthol. Aceclofenac and Methyl salicylate are pain killers which work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin (PG). By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Capsaicin is a natural extract of chilli pepper that works by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. 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.
ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is only for external use. Avoid contact of ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE with nose, ears, mouth or eyes. In case ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you use ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience redness, itching, irritation or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE. Do not apply heat or wrap the treated area of skin with bandages. Avoid using ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not apply ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE on cuts, wounds or damaged skin.

Medicinal Benefits
ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is a combination of four drugs: Aceclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate and Menthol. ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Aceclofenac and Methyl salicylate belong to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or pain killers that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Capsaicin is an analgesic that works by affecting the chemical messenger in the brain (neurotransmitter) that transmits pain signals to the brain thereby reducing the perception of pain. Menthol acts as a cooling agent that relieves pain initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This action of cooling and warming up distracts from the pain and helps in improving blood circulation. Together, ACECLOFENAC+CAPSAICIN+MENTHOL+METHYL SALICYLATE helps provide relief from mild to moderate pain in various types of musculoskeletal and joints conditions.
