Fenlong-MR Liniment is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Arthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.
Fenlong-MR Liniment contains Diclofenac diethylamine, Capsaicin, Mephenesin, Camphor, and Menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine blocks chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Mephenesin relieves muscle spasms/stiffness by acting on the centres of the brain and spinal cord. Capsaicin exerts an analgesic effect by blocking the pain messengers of the nerves. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels, followed by an analgesic effect. It also enhances the penetration of drugs. Together, Fenlong-MR Liniment helps in providing relief from pain.
