Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Mataren Plus has a decongestant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, distracting and warming effect at the site of application. The cream promotes the development of local hyperemia and hyperthermia of the skin, reduces pain in the joints (including the joints of the spine) and muscles at rest and during movement, increases the range of motion of the joints in the area of application, and also reduces their swelling and morning stiffness.
Actions of Mataren Plus, due to its constituent components:
- meloxicam: is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2, disrupting the metabolism of arachidonic acid, reduces the amount of prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation in the focus of the disease;
- capsaicin (contained in paprika tincture): has an irritating effect on sensitive receptors in the skin, causing a local analgesic effect and improving blood circulation in both the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Improved local blood flow is accompanied by an increase in blood circulation in the underlying tissues, as a result of which the inflammation substrate is more intensively removed from the pathological focus.
Capsaicin and meloxicam, when combined, due to the synergistic effect, significantly exceed the individual effect of each of the substances separately. The optimal combination of the components of the drug enhances the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of Matarena Plus.
