TIGER BALM ACTIVE MUSCLE GEL
NAME AND STRENGTH OF ACTIVE SUBSTANCE(S)
Methyl Salicylate 16% w/w
Menthol
8% w/w
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A clear transparent greenish-blue gel with characteristic smell.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Menthol
Menthol dilates the blood vessels causing a sensation of coldness,
followed by an analgesic
effect. Menthol also acts as a penetration enhancer, increasing the
penetration of drugs when
applied on the skin, to give faster onset of action.
Methyl salicylate
Methyl salicylate is a salicylic acid derivative.
Salicylates inhibit cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the formation of
prostaglandins, and cause
platelet dysfunction.
Methyl salicylate is used topically as a counter-irritant. Upon
application, it is absorbed through
the skin and is applied for the relief of pain in rheumatic conditions
and painful muscles or joints.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Menthol
•
After absorption, menthol is excreted in the urine and bile as a
glucuronide.
Methyl salicylate
•
May be absorbed through intact skin.
•
The absorption of topical salicylates is proportional to the surface
area involved, duration of
exposure, concentration and skin integrity.
•
Absorption characteristics of salicylates vary with the dose,
formulation and route of
administration.
•
Percutaneous absorption is enhanced by exercise, heat, occlusion, or
disruption of the
integrity of the skin or application to large areas of skin.
•
Both the rate and extent of absorption increases after repeated
application; increasing the
bioavailability.
•
Methyl salicylate is extensively metabolised to salicylic acid in the
dermal and subcutaneous
tissues after topical application.
•
At therapeutic levels, the half life of salicylates is 2-4 hours. As
salicylate level increases into
the toxic range, the half-life can be greater than 18 hours.
