Product overview
Composition
This product does not appear to be listed in Bangladesh's pharmaceutical database, which suggests it may be classed as a cosmetic/OTC topical rather than a registered drug. Per one BD retail listing, the confirmed active ingredient is Menthol; another retail listing describes it more vaguely as "Menthol & natural ingredients" without itemizing further. The presence of camphor, eucalyptus oil, or other ingredients typical of this general product category (rubbing balms) is not confirmed - do not assume these are present without further confirmation from the physical packaging. One source attributes manufacture to Unic Pharmaceutical Ltd, though this is not corroborated by a second source. The product name also appears inconsistently across BD retailers as "Nix Rubbing Balm," "Nix Rubbing Cream," and "Nix Balm" - these most likely refer to the same underlying product.
