A small arrow pointing down

Methyl Salicylate 30% Compound Topical Rub is a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This topical medication is primarily used to alleviate a range of conditions such as muscle and joint pain, inflammation, and skin irritation. The active ingredient, methyl salicylate, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation.

Upon application to the skin, the topical rub is rapidly absorbed, initiating its therapeutic effect within minutes. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions on the label and utilize the medication as prescribed. Care should be taken to prevent contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

For muscle and joint pain, the topical rub should be applied to the affected area three to four times daily. In cases of inflammation, the topical rub should be applied two to three times daily. For skin irritation, the topical rub should be applied one to two times daily.

It is important to remember that this medication should not be used for more than seven consecutive days without seeking medical advice.
