Capgel 25gm Cream

Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thymol, and Wintergreen are active ingredients in the cream, each with its own mechanism of action. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by activating specific receptors in the skin, reducing the perception of pain. Eucalyptus oil contains eucalyptol, which has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to relieve discomfort. Thymol, derived from thyme, exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, contributing to skin health. Wintergreen oil, rich in methyl salicylate, is a natural analgesic that enhances the cream's pain-relieving properties by inhibiting inflammation and reducing pain signals.
