How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Methyl Salicylate 30%/Menthol 3% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation that combines the analgesic properties of Methyl Salicylate and the anti-inflammatory benefits of Menthol. This unique blend of active ingredients is designed to provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation, making it an effective treatment for a range of conditions such as muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.

Methyl Salicylate works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing immediate relief from discomfort. On the other hand, Menthol acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing swelling and inflammation in the affected area. This dual-action approach ensures a comprehensive treatment of both symptoms and underlying causes of pain and inflammation.

The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application directly to the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients are localized to the area of discomfort, providing fast and effective relief. It is recommended to apply the cream to the affected area two to three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth, and hands should be washed thoroughly after application.
