How it Works

Doil-MR Liniment is a combination of analgesic medicines and a skeletal muscle relaxant. With dual hot and cold action, camphor numbs and cools the nerve endings, then warms the painful area as it improves circulation to stiff joints and muscles. Capsaicin based rubefacients work by blocking pain messages to the nerves. Diclofenac diethylamine works by reducing hormones that trigger inflammation and pain in the body. Menthol causes a cooling sensation and is reported to act as a counterirritant to reduce the sensation of pain. Mephenesin relaxes skeletal muscles and relieves spasms.
