How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Methyl Salicylate 30%/Camphor 6%/Menthol 3% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated blend of three active ingredients, each contributing to its potent pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. This lotion is designed for external application to the skin, offering a smooth and spreadable consistency that promotes the absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment.

Methyl Salicylate, a topical analgesic, functions by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thereby providing relief from discomfort. Camphor, a known anti-inflammatory agent, aids in reducing swelling and inflammation, further enhancing the lotion's effectiveness. Lastly, Menthol, a cooling agent, helps to alleviate itching and irritation, providing a soothing effect on the skin.

These include muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. The lotion, when applied to the affected area, quickly penetrates the skin, allowing the active ingredients to be absorbed and start working promptly.

The lotion should be applied two to three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the directions on the label and not exceed the recommended dosage. This ensures the safe and appropriate use of the product.

Before using Methyl Salicylate 30%/Camphor 6%/Menthol 3% Topical Lotion, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it is suitable for your specific needs. If you have any questions about this formulation or its mechanism of action, do not hesitate to seek professional advice.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
