Pharmacology
This specialized cream combines Methyl Salicylate and Menthol to target pain and stiffness from minor arthritis and muscle aches. Methyl Salicylate penetrates deeply into the skin, providing long-lasting relief by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which reduces pain and inflammation. Menthol enhances drug penetration and creates a cooling sensation that follows with an analgesic effect, contributing to faster pain relief.
Dosage & Administration
For adults and children aged 2 years and older: Apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently massaging until absorbed. Limit application to 3-4 times daily.
Use as directed by your physician.
Interaction
Methyl Salicylate may interact with Warfarin, potentially enhancing its effects by altering Vitamin K metabolism or displacing Warfarin from protein-binding sites.
Contraindications
Avoid use if allergic to salicylates or sensitive to any ingredients. Do not apply to broken or raw skin.
Side Effects
Possible side effects include redness, irritation, or mild to moderate local reactions such as rash and itching, particularly in sensitive individuals.
