Rub-A535 Injury Ice to Heat Relief Dual Action Cream

Rub-A535 Injury Ice to Heat Relief Dual Action Cream is a topical analgesic designed to provide temporary pain relief associated with muscle and joint injuries. It utilizes a unique two-step approach:

Active Ingredients:

  • Menthol 3%: Creates a cooling sensation upon application, offering initial pain relief and potentially numbing the area.
  • Methyl salicylate 15%: Activates after a short period, providing a warming sensation that increases blood flow and may further reduce discomfort.
  • Camphor 3%: Offers a warming sensation and may have antiseptic properties. Can irritate skin and shouldn't be used on open wounds.
  • Eucalyptus Essential oils 1.5%: May contribute to pain relief and provide a distinct scent. Can irritate skin, especially for those with allergies.

Target Uses:

  • Temporary relief of pain and inflammation associated with:
    • Muscle aches and stiffness
    • Back pain
    • Minor strains and sprains

Application:

  • Adults and children over a certain age (usually 12 years or older, confirm on the label). Apply a thin layer to the affected area and massage gently. Wash hands after application.
  • Important: The cream is designed for a two-step effect. Don't reapply immediately after the cooling sensation subsides. Allow the warming sensation to activate for full effect.

Benefits:

  • Dual Action Relief: Provides both a cooling and warming sensation for a more comprehensive pain management experience.
  • Targeted Relief: Cream format allows for application to specific areas.
  • Fast-Acting: Menthol offers quick cooling relief, while methyl salicylate provides a warming sensation within minutes.

Considerations:

  • Strength: The combined effects of menthol and methyl salicylate might be too strong for some users, especially those with sensitive skin.
  • Skin Irritation: Menthol and methyl salicylate can irritate the skin, especially on sensitive areas or broken skin. Do a patch test first.
  • Not for Everyone: People with certain skin conditions, allergies to any ingredients, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use. People taking blood thinners should also consult a doctor, as methyl salicylate can increase bleeding risk.
  • Not a Cure: Manages pain and inflammation but doesn't heal the underlying injury. Rest, support, and physical therapy may be necessary for recovery.

Additional Information:

  • Consult a doctor if pain persists or worsens after a few days of use.
  • The size and amount of cream may vary depending on the packaging.
