Cream: Each of the ingredients within the combination shows distinct function in reduction of pain. One of the ingredients is camphor which shows spasmolytic action on smooth muscle. It causes the reduction of Ca²⁺ influx in the smooth muscles and thus reduces the contraction of muscles.This results in decreased muscles spasm.Another action of camphor is to reduce the pain by increasing the threshold level.Pain stimuli are not enough to be transmitted to brain because of increased threshold level. Menthol exerts cooling and soothing effect by stimulating the cold receptor and thus causes reduction of pain. Methyl Salicylate is converted to salicylic acid and causes the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzyme. As a result prostaglandin synthesis is being inhibited and that ultimately results in reduction of pain. Menthol exerts cooling and soothing effect by stimulating the cold receptor and thus causes reduction of pain.
