How FENLONG MR LINIMENT Works
FENLONG MR LINIMENT works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity, which in turn manages the production of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators, thus reducing pain and inflammation. Menthol causes a cooling sensation that helps reduce pain in the tissues just below the surface of the skin.
Mephenesin is a centrally acting muscle relaxant; it works by blocking the neuromuscular agents, thus inducing muscle relaxation. Methyl salicylate causes irritation and skin reddening as a result of dilated capillaries and increased blood flow, which relieves musculoskeletal discomfort in the muscles, joints, and tendons.
Turpentine oil produces warmth and redness that reduce pain in the tissue below. Together, they are used to manage arthritic pain, back pain, stiff neck, sports injuries, sprains, and strains.
