Composition

The active ingredients of Nano Max 30GM gel are Diclofenac (1.6% W/W), Linseed oil (3% W/W), Menthol (5% W/W) and Methyl salicylate (10% W/W)

Mechanism of Action of Drugs

Diclofenac works by blocking clyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme in your body. When this enzyme is blocked, your body decreases the amount of inflammatory chemicals it makes thereby reducing inflammation and pain. Linseed oil has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It softens skin and soothes skin irritation. Methyl salicylate and menthol are known as counterirritants. They work by causing the skin to feel cool first and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the pains/aches deeper in your muscles, joints and tendons. It contains microparticles that provide quick releif by penetrating deeply.
