Indications of Menthol + Camphor + Methyl Salicylate + Oleoresin Capsicum
Menthol + Camphor + Methyl Salicylate + Oleoresin Capsicum is a topical rubefacient/counterirritant combination indicated for the temporary relief of minor aches and pain of muscles and joints associated with the following, based on long-standing OTC external analgesic monograph use and common clinical practice:
- Established (OTC monograph) uses: Simple backache, arthritis-related joint pain, muscle strains and sprains, and general muscular soreness.
- Commonly used for: Bruises, minor sports-related muscle fatigue, and stiffness/soreness after physical exertion.
- Adjunct use: As a topical adjunct alongside oral analgesics or physiotherapy for localized musculoskeletal pain, not as a substitute for systemic treatment of underlying disease.
This product is intended for external use only and provides symptomatic relief; it does not treat the underlying cause of pain.
