Équivalent(s) English rubefacient Définition : Se dit d'un agent médicamenteux dont l'application sur la peau provoque une rougeur intense et passagère. "rubefacient Agents are also called counter-irritant. The name derives from the fact that these agents cause a reddening of the skin by causing the blood vessels of the skin to dilate, which gives a soothing feeling of warmth. The term counter-irritant refers to the idea that irritation of the sensory nerve endings alters or offsets pain in the underlying muscle or joints that are served by the same nerves.
