pharmachologic effect

Capsicam is a local irritant.

Pharmacokinetics
 
The ointment is quickly absorbed into nearby tissues. Absorption into the systemic circulation is negligible.
 
Pharmacodynamics
 
An analgesic and warming ointment contains substances that have a vasodilating and irritating effect on sensitive nerve endings, as a result of which it has a local irritating, hyperemic and analgesic effect.
 
Local skin irritation causes a change in blood supply and a selective decrease in trophism of internal organs, innervated from the same segments of the spinal cord. Additional irritation in the corresponding segment of the spinal cord causes additional activation of the antinociceptive system, which prevents the conduction of pain impulses into the cerebral cortex and improves pain tolerance.
 
The skin temperature rises by 1 - 2 ° C within 2 - 3 hours. The analgesic effect occurs in 30-40 minutes and lasts up to 3-6 hours. With repeated use, the ointment remains effective for 10-14 days.
