How Orcerin Ointment works
Orcerin Ointment is a combination of five medicines: Glucosamine, Diacerein, Capsaicin, Camphor and Menthol. Glucosamine and Diacerein are proteoglycan synthesis stimulators. Together they help in the formation of cartilage (soft tissue around the joints) leading to joint repair. Diacerein also lowers inflammation (swelling) of the joints. Capsaicin work by blocking pain messages to the nerves which relieves minor aches and pains in the joints. Camphor and Menthol work by first cooling the skin, then warming it up. This action distracts from feeling the pain.
