Pharmacology

Mucopolysaccharide Polysulphate (MPS) and Salicylic Acid is a combination applied to the skin. It is used for mild to moderate inflammation and pain, and for symptomatic relief of muscular pain, stiffness, sprains and strains. It is also used for pain due to rheumatic and non-serious arthritic conditions.

MPS is a non-steroidal drug with anti-inflammatory activity. Based on in vitro studies, this comes from a weak inhibitory effect on PGE2 synthesis and an indirect effect on LTB4 production. MPS also shows anti-coagulant activity as a heparinoid, thrombolytic activity through potentiation of urokinase activity, and anti-exudatory activity through inhibition of hyaluronidase.

Salicylic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is included in the formulation for its keratolytic activity, and it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of its own.

The two work together. Salicylic acid gently softens the skin so the MPS can be absorbed where the inflamed and painful tissues are. The formulation comes as a gel, which is easy to massage onto the skin and helps relieve pain caused by inflammation beneath. It can also be used to treat pain due to rheumatic and non-serious arthritic conditions.

The effects of MPS and salicylic acid are topical and localised only.
