Ark Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac, Capsaicin, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Capsaicin works by blocking pain messages to the nerves. Methyl Salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics that work by first cooling the skin and then warming it up, distracting from feeling the pain.
