About Genim Liniment

Genim Liniment is used to relieve joint pain, low back pain, sprains, strains, and muscular pain. Also, Genim Liniment is used to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints, resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.

Genim Liniment is a combination of four drugs: Diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), Capsaicin (analgesic), Menthol (cooling agent), and Camphor (mild pain reliever). Diclofenac works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Capsaicin works by blocking pain signals to the nerves and relieves minor pain in the joints and muscles. Menthol works initially by cooling the skin followed by warming it up. This helps in improving blood circulation. Camphor helps to relieve pain.
