Temporarily relieves minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains, sprains, bruises, and sore muscles. Available over-the-counter for topical application.

Combines four analgesic mechanisms: local anesthetics (benzocaine and lidocaine) block pain signals at nerve endings for immediate numbing; capsaicin depletes substance P to reduce pain perception over time; and methyl salicylate provides anti-inflammatory and counter-irritant effects.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin. Do not bandage tightly or apply with heat. Discontinue use if severe burning, rash, or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Not recommended for children under 12 without medical advice. Do not use if allergic to salicylates or local anesthetics.
