About Nise Gel

Nise Gel is a combination medicine which acts as a topical analgesic. The main function of this analgesic is to relieve pain including joint pain, low back pain, sports related injuries and sprain in muscles.

It also does wonders in case of pain and inflammation in the bone joints as well as muscles, especially during Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Nise Gel mainly consists of Nimesulide, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate and Menthol.

Nimesulide and Methyl salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory types of medicines or NSAIDs. These work on the mechanism to block the release of certain chemical mediators in the central nervous system. These chemical messengers are known to cause pain and inflammation in joints or muscles.

Capsaicin is a type of analgesic which inhibits the functioning of neurotransmitters, responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the brain. These impulses cause perception of the pain in bones or muscles.

Menthol works as a cooling agent which functions by first cooling the skin of the affected area, then causing a warming effect there. It improves the blood circulation and helps to distract pain.
