How Providol-C Gel works

Providol-C Gel is a combination of five medicines : Aceclofenac, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, and Capsaicin Based Rubefacients, that is used for pain relief. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil decreases swelling through its anti-inflammatory properties. Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves. Capsaicin Based Rubefacients is also a pain reliever. Capsaicin works by desensitizing the nerve endings which reduces pain. Rubefacient increases the blood flow of the affected area to give a warm and soothing feeling.
