Medicine Description tiger-plaster 300mg
Tiger Plaster is a medication that utilizes capsicum and menthol to provide localized pain relief. Capsicum, derived from chili peppers, contains capsaicin, which interacts with sensory neurons to reduce the transmission of pain signals. It induces a warming sensation that enhances blood flow to the affected area, promoting healing and alleviating discomfort. Menthol, on the other hand, creates a cooling effect by activating cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, further distracting the brain from pain sensations. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to relieve muscle and joint pain, enhance circulation, and facilitate muscle relaxation.
