Used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints, including those associated with arthritis, backache, strains, sprains, bruises, and simple muscle pain. May also be used for discomfort related to insect bites or itching.

This combination works through multiple mechanisms: menthol and camphor create cooling and warming sensations that help override pain signals; lidocaine provides local anesthetic numbing effects; and methyl salicylate provides anti-inflammatory action similar to aspirin. Together, these ingredients offer multi-faceted pain relief when applied topically.

For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes. Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. Do not bandage tightly or use with heating pads. Discontinue use if excessive skin irritation, burning, or rash occurs. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medications. Keep away from children.
