SENSUR RUB OINTMENT 10 GM

How SENSUR RUB OINTMENT 10 GM Works

• SENSUR RUB OINTMENT 10 GM is a topical analgesic designed to provide temporary relief from minor aches and pains of muscles and joints. Its effectiveness stems from a combination of active ingredients that work synergistically to alleviate discomfort. The primary mechanism involves creating a counterirritant effect, which distracts the brain from the underlying pain.
• Methyl salicylate, a key ingredient, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and counterirritant. When applied to the skin, it causes a mild, superficial irritation. This irritation stimulates nerve endings, sending signals to the brain that override or reduce the perception of deeper pain signals originating from muscles and joints. Think of it as a 'redirection' of the brain's attention, lessening the focus on the original source of pain.
• Menthol, another crucial component, contributes to the soothing sensation. It activates cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, producing a cooling effect. This cooling sensation provides immediate, albeit temporary, relief from pain and inflammation. Moreover, menthol also has mild analgesic properties, further contributing to pain reduction. The combined effect of menthol's cooling and mild pain-relieving actions enhances the overall therapeutic benefit of the ointment.
• Camphor is included for its counterirritant and mild anesthetic properties. It stimulates nerve endings, producing a warm sensation that can help mask the underlying pain. Additionally, camphor may increase blood flow to the affected area, which could promote healing and reduce inflammation. While the exact mechanisms are still under investigation, its presence in SENSUR RUB OINTMENT contributes to the multi-faceted approach to pain relief.
• Together, these ingredients create a multi-sensory experience on the skin. The initial cooling sensation from menthol is often followed by a warming sensation from methyl salicylate and camphor. This alternating hot and cold feeling helps to distract from the pain, while the active ingredients work to reduce inflammation and promote localized pain relief. It's important to note that SENSUR RUB OINTMENT provides temporary relief and does not address the underlying cause of the pain. For persistent or severe pain, consult a healthcare professional.
• The ointment is applied topically, allowing the active ingredients to be absorbed directly into the affected area. This targeted approach helps to minimize systemic absorption and potential side effects. The effect is localized, providing relief where it's needed most. The user will feel a sensation due to the counterirritant property and the brain's focus will shift from the original pain to the sensation caused by the counterirritant, giving relief to the user.
