Arth-Rx Topical Analgesic Arthristis Pain Relief is the only product to combine capsaicin with the vasodilator methyl nicotinate. Together, this means greater arthritis pain relief, faster and longer lasting.
How it Works?
When applied topically, capsaicin (a derivative of hot peppers) appears to reduce the amount of a natural chemical known as substance P, which is present in painful joints. Substance P is believed to be involved in two processes central to arthritis: the release of enzymes that produce inflammation and the transmission of pain impulses from the joints to the central nervous system. By blocking the production and release of substance P, capsaicin can reduce the pain associated with arthritis as well as dampen the transmission of pain messages to the brain.
INGREDIENTS:
Active Ingredients:
Capsaicin, Methyl Nicotinate.
Capsaicin is approved by the FDA as an OTC medication and is commonly recommended by doctors. It is used to relieve mild to moderate arthritis as well as many other pain disorders when applied repeatedly over several weeks.
Methyl Nicotinate is categorized as a vasodilator. When applied 3-4 times a day it is a safe and effective counterirritant.
DIRECTIONS:
Therapeutic pain response is usually achieved in 1 to 2 weeks but may take as long as 4 weeks. Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container away from heat and direct light.
No serious side effects are associated with the use of capsaicin.
Stinging, burning, or tingling sensation may be felt where applied. This is natural reaction and will vary with each individual and will many times cause people to discontinue use before seeing benefits.
This stinging and burning will subside with regular use as the body adjusts to the medication.
WARNINGS:
Not recommended for children under 18. When using the product avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to wounds or damaged skin. Do not bandage tightly. Stop use and ask doctor if condition worsens, or if excessive irritation of the skin develops.
If unusual burning occurs clean the area with alcohol or olive oil. Water will intensify the burning sensation.
