| Mechanism of action | Capsitop O Roll ON is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac, Capsaicin Based Rubefacients, Methyl Salicylate and Menthol which relieves pain and inflammation. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain, fever, and inflammation (redness). Capsaicin Based Rubefacients works by blocking pain messages to the nerves. This relieves minor aches and pains in the muscles and joints. Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin and then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action distracts from feeling the pain. |
