Can anyone tell me what the English term is for this - ***Derivans:*** léčivo pro místní použití, které zvyšuje prokrvení pokožky a urychluje průběh zánětu nebo vstřebání otoku; vyvolává pocit tepla, což vede k utlumení pocitu bolesti.
I don't think it is a "derivative"! I wanted to put tonic but I am sure that someone out there will put me straight
