Date of P.I.L : 01/10/2021 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.
