How Maxolin Gel works
Maxolin Gel is a combination of diclofenac diethylamine, methyl salicylate, eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, and capsaicin. Diclofenac diethylamine and methyl salicylate reduce pain and inflammation by blocking prostaglandin synthesis. Menthol and camphor create a cooling sensation that eases discomfort. Eucalyptus oil provides a mild anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. Capsaicin works by desensitizing pain receptors, lowering pain signals over time. Together, they provide effective and long-lasting relief from muscle and joint pain.
