Temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, backache, bruises, muscle soreness, rheumatism, sprains, and strains.
Menthol provides a cooling sensation that activates cold-sensitive nerve receptors, while camphor creates a warming and tingling sensation by stimulating nerve endings. Methyl salicylate acts as a counterirritant and is converted to salicylic acid locally, providing anti-inflammatory effects. Together, these ingredients create sensations that help mask the perception of pain.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin. Do not apply heat, bandages, or tight dressings after use. Do not use on children under 12 years without medical advice. Discontinue use if excessive skin irritation, rash, or allergic reaction occurs. Individuals with aspirin or salicylate sensitivity should use with caution or avoid this product.
