Hello,
This is Dad Pharmacist from Suwon Star Pharmacy.
At the pharmacy, we often hear things like
the following comments quite frequently.
"Adhesive patches are surprisingly uncomfortable."
"Is there a pain relief gel that's easier to apply?"
Especially after exercise or right before going to bed,
when using a rub-on pain relief gel,
haven't you ever felt uncomfortable with it getting on your hands and not wanting to bother washing them off?
So today, I'd like to talk about a recently released new product:
안티푸라민 쿨겔 (Antiphlamine Cool Gel).
You're probably already familiar with the existing 안티푸라민 ointments and patches,
but this new product features newly applied technology,
and even though it hasn't been out for long, more and more people are looking for it.
When it comes to muscle pain ointments, how do you choose the right one?
When selecting an ointment for muscle pain or joint pain,
rather than choosing based solely on a cooling sensation or a tingling feeling,
it's important to also consider the actual mechanism of action and intended purpose of use.
In practice, the following three points matter most:
✔ What ingredients are included
✔ What type of pain the product is designed for
✔ How it is applied and its ease of use
These three factors make a real difference in user satisfaction and effectiveness.
안티푸라민 쿨겔 (Antiphlamine Cool Gel)
is a product developed with all three of these considerations in mind.
🔵 What are the features of 안티푸라민 쿨겔 (Antiphlamine Cool Gel)?
✔ New technology applied
'Stainless steel 3-ball roller'
The biggest feature of this product is
Rather than an ordinary tube,
it features a roller mechanism made up of 3 stainless steel balls.
✔ The role of the 3-ball roller
This design is not simply a way of applying the gel —
it is engineered to deliver both ease of use and a massage effect at the same time.
-
Naturally massages as it contacts the skin
-
Spreads the gel thinly and evenly
-
Can be applied without rubbing with your hands
In other words, it is a structure that lets you feel a massage effect the very moment you apply it.
So for areas like the shoulders, trapezius muscle, and lower back —
spots that are awkward to reach on your own —
it seems like it would be much easier to use^^
🔵 What are the key active ingredients?
✔ Key ingredient: Diclofenac diethylammonium
안티푸라민 쿨겔 contains
diclofenac (Diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID),
as its active ingredient.
This ingredient works by
inhibiting the production of prostaglandins —
substances that trigger pain and inflammation —
and is a well-known agent used to relieve inflammation-related pain.
✔ How it reduces the inflammatory response
When muscles or joints sustain damage, our body
activates an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX),
which then produces prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling.
Diclofenac
inhibits the activity of this COX enzyme,
thereby reducing the inflammatory response itself and relieving pain.
Therefore, rather than simply masking pain,
it works by targeting and reducing the underlying cause of inflammation.
✔ Diethylammonium salt form designed for skin delivery
The diclofenac used in 안티푸라민 쿨겔 is
formulated in a diethylammonium salt form
and is designed to be delivered through the skin to the affected tissue.
This means that even as a topical product,
it is formulated to act locally at the site of pain.
✔ Combined action with a cooling ingredient
L-Menthol (L-Menthol) is also incorporated into the formula,
so you can feel a refreshing cooling sensation the moment you apply it.
Menthol stimulates sensory nerves
and has an action that helps ease the transmission of pain,
while diclofenac
works to reduce the inflammatory response deep within the tissue.
When is it good to use?
-
Shoulder stiffness, trapezius muscle pain
-
Muscle pain around the lower back
-
Knee and elbow joint pain
-
Tennis elbow, golf elbow
-
Bruises, sprained joints
In particular,
"Aching pain when moving"
"Pain when pressed"
Especially for muscle sprains that occur after exercise,
or when there is joint strain from repeated use,
it can also be a helpful option.
How does it spread and how cool does it feel?
This product has a
gel type + menthol cooling ingredient
formulation, so
-
it is non-sticky and
-
It does not burn excessively,
-
and has the characteristic of a cooling sensation spreading immediately upon application.
In particular,
after exercise, after a shower, or after sitting for a long time,
when applied to muscles where heat has built up,
many people feel a cooling sensation right away.
It is especially well-suited for these types of people
✔ Those who dislike getting ointment on their hands
✔ Those who frequently experience muscle stiffness after exercise
✔ Those whose joints often swell and feel stiff
✔ Those who find adhesive patches uncomfortable
The directions for use are as follows.
-
Ages 12 and above
-
1 application: 2–4g per dose
-
3–4 times per day
-
Apply to the painful area using the roller in a massaging motion
Avoid eyes, wounds, and mucous membranes,
and for approximately 10 minutes after application,
please let the area rest.
💡 Tips for better results!
1️⃣ Do not move immediately after applying
→ Resting for about 10 minutes helps with absorption.
2️⃣ Keep the painful area warm
→ Increased blood flow helps deliver the medication's effect.
3️⃣ Stretch once a day
→ Muscle relaxation alongside medication use is important.
In closing
If muscle pain or joint pain
keeps recurring in your daily life,
please don't put up with it any longer — visit a pharmacy.
