Mechanism of Action
MENTHOL
Menthol primarily activates the cold-sensitive trpm8 receptors in the skin. Menthol, after topical application, causes a feeling of coolness due to stimulation of 'cold' receptors by inhibiting ca++ currents of neuronal membranes. It may also yield analgesic properties via kappa-opioid receptor agonism.
