Composition and Active Ingredients

The effectiveness of FPN Gel is achieved through its precise composition:

Diclofenac Diethylamine BP (1.16% w/w)

• Equivalent to Diclofenac Sodium (1.0% w/w)
• Purpose: Anti-inflammatory agent
• Benefits: Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It’s effective for treating arthritis, muscle injuries, and other conditions associated with inflammation.

Linseed Oil BP (3.00%)

• Purpose: Emollient and penetrative agent
• Benefits: Linseed Oil, also known as flaxseed oil, possesses anti-inflammatory properties and aids in skin hydration. It enhances the absorption of the active ingredients in the gel, ensuring faster relief.

Menthol IP (5.00%)

• Purpose: Cooling agent and analgesic
• Benefits: Menthol is known for its cooling sensation which helps to numb the affected area, providing immediate pain relief. It also increases blood flow to the region, accelerating the healing process.

Methyl Salicylate IP (10.0%)

• Purpose: Counterirritant and analgesic
• Benefits: Often referred to as wintergreen oil, Methyl Salicylate causes the skin to feel cool, followed by warmth, creating a diversion from the pain. It aids in the reduction of muscle and joint pain.

Capsaicin USP (0.025%)

• Purpose: Pain relief through nerve desensitization
• Benefits: Capsaicin, a compound derived from chili peppers, is known to relieve pain by depleting substance P, a neurotransmitter that sends pain signals to the brain. This makes it an effective treatment for nerve pain and conditions such as arthritis.

Benzyl Alcohol IP (1.00%)

• Purpose: Preservative
• Benefits: Acts as a preservative to maintain the gel's sterility and effectiveness over time, ensuring that you get a fresh and potent application with each use.

Gel Base q.s.

• Purpose: Smooth and non-greasy application
• Benefits: The specialized gel base ensures easy application, quick drying, and non-greasy finish. It allows the active ingredients to be absorbed rapidly for prompt relief.

Mechanism of Action

FPN Gel operates through a multi-faceted mechanism to provide comprehensive pain relief:

1. Reduces Inflammation: Diclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), essential for the synthesis of prostaglandins, the mediators of pain and inflammation.
2. Promotes Circulation: Menthol's cooling effect leads to the opening of blood vessels, increasing blood flow to affected areas for faster healing.
3. Numbs Pain: The combination of Menthol and Methyl Salicylate provides an analgesic effect, reducing the perception of pain.
4. Desensitizes Nerves: Capsaicin reduces the level of substance P in the nerve endings, diminishing pain signals sent to the brain.
