1. What is Neo-Capsiderm and what is it used for
Neo-Capsiderm is traditionally used as a warming agent for muscle pain (sprains, painful muscle spasms), as an auxiliary agent for pain in inflammatory joint conditions, and for neuralgia (inflammation of nerve roots, sciatica).
The medicine rubbed into the skin has an irritating effect on the skin, causing its hyperemia and redness, and has a warming effect. The expansion of blood vessels causes better blood supply to the painful area and faster resolution of swelling and inflammation. As a result of the resolution of inflammation, painful symptoms gradually subside.
