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.
