Benefits
In pain relief
Nuflam-TH Gel gives fast relief from pain and swelling in the muscles by creating a cooling-warming effect. It works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the pain in your muscles and joints. It also relaxes stiff muscles and helps in easy movement. Altogether, it will help you do your daily activities without much problem. Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times a day and rub in gently and thoroughly.
How it works
Nuflam-TH Gel is a combination of four medicines: Thiocolchicoside, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, and Alcohol. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm without reduction in strength. This improves the pain and movement of muscles. Methyl Salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Menthol is an extract from peppermint that provides a cooling effect on the skin. Alcohol acts as a preservative and also helps in proper absorption of the medicine into the skin. In this way, it works to relieve pain.
