Medicine Description baumalgine 2% mg
baumalgine extra cream 50 gm is a medication that contains methyl salicylate, which is a topical analgesic. It works by penetrating the skin to exert its effects on the underlying tissues. Methyl salicylate acts on the sensory neurons in the skin to produce localized analgesia by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins—substances that mediate inflammation and pain. This dual action promotes both a warming sensation and a cooling effect, thereby enhancing the perception of comfort in the affected area. The mechanism involves both peripheral and central pathways, making it effective for acute and chronic pain relief.
