10% Methyl Salicylate: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: Pain Reliever Cream

# Methyl Salicylate 10% Overview Methyl salicylate is a medicine that comes in a topical form, which means you rub it directly on your skin. It's used to help ease minor aches and pains in muscles and joints, like sore muscles from exercise or minor arthritis pain. When you apply it to your skin, it creates a warming or cooling sensation that helps distract from the pain and can reduce inflammation. Many people use products containing this ingredient for relief from common soreness and stiffness. When using products with 10% methyl salicylate, it's important to follow the directions carefully. Never swallow it or let it get in your eyes, mouth, or on broken skin. If you're pregnant, nursing a baby, or have certain health conditions, you should talk to a doctor before using it. Keep the product away from children and pets, and always wash your hands after using it (unless treating your hands). If your pain doesn't improve within a week or you have any signs of an allergic reaction like rash or difficulty breathing, stop using it and contact your doctor right away. Store the product according to the label instructions to keep it working properly.
