How do the ingredients of the medicine work?
Nicoboxil: The active ingredient is a vasodilator. This increases blood flow to the skin and warms it intensively. According to the manufacturer, blood flow to the muscles also increases. The drug therefore has a tension-relieving and pain-relieving effect.
Nonivamide: The active ingredient intervenes in the mechanism of pain transmission. When applied externally, the substance penetrates the skin tissue and docks onto special binding sites on the nerve cells. According to the manufacturers, this leads to the release of certain messenger substances that reduce the perception of pain and also dampen the sensation of pain.
