Therapeutic Class: Topical Antirheumatics & Analgesics.
Pharmacology: Pharmacological Effects and Mechanism of Action: Menthol works by creating a cooling sensation that reduces pain reception. It also acts as a counterirritant by blocking pain signals through the gate control theory and provides a mild numbing effect to desensitize nerve endings. Additionally, menthol increases local blood flow, which helps with pain relief.
