G.D.Pharmaceuticals offers a pain relieving ointment called penorub strong. Penorub strong is translucent, completely non-staining and contains diclofenac salt, a modern and strong analgesic while retaining the age-old, tested efficacy of methyl salicylate and menthol.
It is used for the following purposes:
Backache
Muscular cramps and sprains
Arthritis
Shoulder ache
The methods to use penorub effectively are:
Apply penorub on the painful area and spread the gel evenly. Do not massage. Rest for a while. Penorub is absorbed quickly and acts very fast.
It is best to apply penorub regularly before going to bed at night for at least a week even after the pain has subsided to avoid recurrence.
Penorub works even in chronic and old painful conditions.
The constituents of penorub strong are as follows:
Methyl salicylate Is methyl o-hydroxybenzoate. It is a colourless or pale yellow or reddish liquid with a strong persistent characteristic aromatic odour. Methyl salicylate is readily absorbed through the skin and is applied in liniments and ointments for relief of pain in lumbago, sciatica and rheumatic conditions.
Diclofenac salt Has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used for relief of pain and inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondilitis and acute gout.
Menthol Occurs as colourless, acicular or prismatic crystals or crystalline powder with a penetrating odour. When applied to the skin, menthol dilates the blood vessels, causing a sensation of coldness followed by an analgesic effect.
