Overview
•This is a topical analgesic patch containing camphor 3.1%, menthol 6.0%, and methyl salicylate 10.0%; use externally only and remove after no more than 8 hours per application as directed.
•Methyl salicylate is aspirin-like, so people with aspirin or salicylate allergy should consult a doctor before use and avoid use if allergic to any ingredient.
•Do not apply to wounds, damaged skin, rashes, eyes, or mucous membranes, and do not use with heating pads or tight bandaging because absorption and irritation risk can increase.
•Stop use and seek medical advice if rash, itching, excessive irritation, worsening pain, symptoms lasting more than 7 days, or recurrence occurs.
•Children under 12 should only use this product under medical guidance; pregnancy or breastfeeding users should ask a clinician because salicylates can be clinically relevant.
•Perfume and terpene resin may trigger skin sensitivity in fragrance-sensitive individuals.
