How Diclofenac Dithylamine, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate and Menthol Spray works
This combination spray works through multiple mechanisms:
- Diclofenac Dithylamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
- Methyl Salicylate acts as a counterirritant, producing a warming sensation that helps distract from pain.
- Menthol provides a cooling effect and also acts as a mild analgesic.
- Linseed Oil helps soothe and moisturize the skin, aiding in the absorption of active ingredients.
When applied to the skin, these ingredients work together to provide localized relief from pain and inflammation.
