ULTRAHEAT RUB CREAM 25GM

Eucalyptol and Menthol, the active ingredients in the cream, exert their effects through multiple mechanisms. Eucalyptol acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and cytokines. It also possesses analgesic properties, helping to reduce pain sensations by interacting with sensory receptors in the skin. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by activating cold-sensitive receptors, which leads to the modulation of pain signals and a reduction in discomfort. This combination helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and provide a soothing effect on the affected area.
