Indications
Methyl Salicylate + Menthol + Camphor cream gives temporary relief from minor aches and pains of the muscles and joints. These may come with backache, lumbago, strains, bruises, sprains, arthritis or rheumatic pain, and pain of the tendons and ligaments. Several double-blind clinical studies of Methyl Salicylate + Menthol + Camphor, in preparations containing Methyl Salicylate and Menthol, have shown that it works against minor pain from skeletal muscle stress and arthritis. The nasal inhaler stick is indicated for nasal congestion or a blocked nose.

Pharmacology
Cream: In this Methyl Salicylate, Menthol and Camphor combination, each ingredient reduces pain in its own way. Camphor has a spasmolytic action on smooth muscle. It reduces Ca2+ influx in the smooth muscles, so the muscles contract less and spasm decreases. Camphor also eases pain by raising the threshold level. Because of this higher threshold, pain stimuli are not strong enough to be transmitted to the brain. Menthol gives a cooling and soothing effect by stimulating the cold receptor, and this reduces pain. Methyl Salicylate is converted to salicylic acid, which inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme. Prostaglandin synthesis is inhibited as a result, and that ultimately reduces pain. Menthol, as said, gives a cooling and soothing effect by stimulating the cold receptor, and this reduces pain.
Nasal Inhaler Stick: Menthol is a decongestant. It helps unblock a congested nose and also reduces irritation in the mouth and throat. Camphor is another decongestant, and it can work as a cough suppressant too. Wintergreen Oil helps remove germs from infected areas and relieves the illness.
