Pharmacology

Cream: Each ingredient in this combination contributes to pain relief through different mechanisms. Camphor exhibits spasmolytic activity on smooth muscles by reducing calcium influx, thereby decreasing muscle contraction and relieving muscle spasm. It also increases the pain threshold, reducing the perception of pain signals reaching the brain. Menthol produces a cooling and soothing effect by stimulating cold receptors in the skin, which helps in reducing pain. Methyl Salicylate is converted to salicylic acid in the body and inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to reduced prostaglandin synthesis and decreased inflammation and pain.

Nasal Inhaler Stick: Menthol acts as a decongestant, helping to relieve nasal blockage and soothe irritation of the nose and throat. Camphor also works as a decongestant and has mild cough suppressant properties. Wintergreen oil provides mild antiseptic action, helping to reduce microbial presence and relieve discomfort.
