Medicinal Benefits of Arigaba Ointment

CAPSAICIN+GABAPENTIN+KETOPROFEN+METHYL SALICYLATE is used to treat neuropathic pain caused due to nerve damage in diabetes, shingles, and spinal cord injury. It contains Capsaicin, Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, and Methyl salicylate. Capsaicin is a natural extract of chili pepper that works by blocking the pain messengers to the nerves. Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic agent that alters the way the nerves send messages to the brain, thus relieving pain. Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, that cause pain and swelling. Methyl salicylate is a topical rubefacient that temporarily relieves muscle or joint pain caused by strains and sprains. Together, CAPSAICIN+GABAPENTIN+KETOPROFEN+METHYL SALICYLATE helps provide relief from neuropathic pain caused due to nerve damage and other neurological disorders.
