Description
Curator's Comment: for description additional reference was used http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejp.719/full

Nicoboxil is a nicotinate used in topical preparations as a rubefacient which has vasodilating properties mediated by prostaglandin. Nicoboxil is a component of finalgon® (nonivamid and nicoboxil), a topical cream for joint and muscle pains. The hyperaemic effect of Nicoboxil has an earlier onset and it is more intense than the nonivamide hyperaemic effect.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Topical nicoboxil/nonivamide ointment (Finalgon®, Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany) has been used since the 1950s to treat discomfort of the musculoskeletal system (Ward, 1955; Chitil and Ortner, 1959).
