RUB-A535 Muscle & Joint Extra Strength Cream 100g

Active Ingredients (Estimated Concentrations):

• Menthol 3%: This is the primary pain-relieving ingredient. Menthol creates a cooling sensation on the skin, which can help distract from the feeling of pain and may also provide a mild numbing effect.
  
• Methyl salicylate 21%: May provide a warming sensation to increase blood flow and potentially reduce discomfort. Can irritate skin and may interact with blood-thinning medications.
• Camphor 4%: Offers a warming sensation and may have antiseptic properties. Can irritate skin and shouldn't be used on open wounds.
• Eucalyptus Essential oil 0.75%: 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 (e.g., from exercise, overuse injuries)
  • Back pain
  • Arthritis (may help manage discomfort, not a cure)
  • 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. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin.

Benefits:

• Targeted Relief: Cream format allows for application to specific areas.
• Fast-Acting: Menthol's cooling sensation may provide quick pain relief.
• Extra Strength: May offer stronger pain relief compared to the regular Rub-A535 cream due to potentially higher concentrations of active ingredients.

Considerations:

• Strength: "Extra Strength" may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin.
• Skin Irritation: Menthol, salicylates, camphor, and essential oils 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.
• Potential Interactions: Salicylates may interact with blood-thinning medications.
• 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 is 100g.
