📖 Menthol: Patient Information Guide

A plain-language walkthrough of Menthol — what it treats, how it works, how it’s taken, side effects, warnings and interactions. Tap any section to expand it.

🎯What it's used for▾

Menthol is used in many topical (applied to the skin) products to temporarily relieve pain, irritation, and discomfort. Approved uses vary by product and formulation:

  • Temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints from arthritis, simple backache, strains, sprains, and bruises — supported across Biofreeze cream, Personal Care Ice Cold gel, and multiple patch products
  • Relief from bursitis (inflammation near joints), tendonitis (tendon pain), muscle cramps — supported by Good Sense Hot and Cold Medicated Patch and several other patch products
  • Dr. Tan's Arthritis Formula 3 Day Patch: chronic arthritis, backache, joint and muscle pain and stiffness, and old sports injuries — for adults and children 10 and older
  • Rayo Active Heat and Rayo Active Ice creams: minor muscle and joint aches, and chest/throat application
  • Biocool gel: activation of muscle and joint for use with ultrasonic treatments and sports massage
  • Meijer Medicated Foot Powder: temporary relief of pain and itch from minor cuts, scrapes, sunburn, insect bites, prickly heat, rashes, minor burns, minor skin irritation, and drying the oozing from poison ivy, oak, and sumac
  • Dentek Canker Cover patch: seals and protects canker sores in the mouth
  • Novum spray: cooling, deep-penetrating pain relief for aching joints or muscle pain
💊How it's taken▾

Menthol products are applied directly to the skin — they are never taken by mouth. How often you apply depends on the specific product:

  • Most topical creams and gels (such as Biofreeze and Personal Care Ice Cold): apply to the affected area up to 3 to 4 times daily
  • Most skin patches (such as Assured Cold N Hot, Coralite, CVS Health Cooling Patch, and Good Sense): clean and dry skin first; apply one patch at a time, worn no longer than 8 hours; maximum 3 patches per day
  • Therapain Plus solution: roll on up to 3 to 4 times daily; re-apply 1–3 extra coats after the first absorbs
  • Novum spray: spray on the area and let dry without rubbing; apply as often as needed per the label

Always follow the directions on your specific product and your prescriber's instructions. Do not use more frequently than directed.

🤒Side effects — in detail▾

Most people tolerate menthol topical products well, but some skin reactions can occur:

  • Temporary burning or tingling sensation after applying — usually fades within a few days of regular use
  • Skin redness at the application site
  • Excessive skin irritation with repeated or heavy use

More serious reactions — such as severe burning, blistering, or swelling where the product was applied — are less common but require you to stop using the product and see a doctor right away.

⚠️Warnings & precautions▾
  • External use only — never swallow. If any menthol product is accidentally ingested, call Poison Control or get emergency help immediately.
  • Do not apply to wounds, open sores, or irritated or damaged skin.
  • Never use with a heating pad or expose the treated area to direct sunlight or local heat — rare but serious skin burns have been reported.
  • Do not bandage the treated area tightly after applying.
  • Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes (such as inside the nose or mouth). Dentek Canker Cover is specifically designed for use in the mouth — other products are not.
  • Avoid applying into skin folds.
  • If your condition gets worse, lasts more than 7 days, or symptoms clear up and come back quickly, stop using the product and talk to a doctor.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should check with a health professional before using any menthol product.
  • Keep all products out of reach of children.
🔀What it interacts with▾

The FDA labels for these menthol products do not identify specific drug, food, or supplement interactions. However, some application precautions are important:

  • Do not use menthol patches or topicals together with a heating pad — this combination can increase the risk of serious burns
  • Do not expose the treated area to direct sunlight or other heat sources while using these products

This is not a complete list of interactions. Always talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.

📋Before taking it▾
  • Do not use on broken, wounded, or irritated skin
  • Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using any menthol product
  • Children under 12: consult a doctor before use for most topical and patch products
  • Children under 2: Rayo Active Heat and Rayo Active Ice should not be used
  • Dr. Tan's Arthritis Formula 3 Day Patch: only for adults and children 10 and older
  • If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin reactions to topical products, use with caution and watch for irritation
🚑If you take too much▾

These menthol products are for external use only. If any product is accidentally swallowed, do not wait for symptoms — get medical help or call Poison Control right away. Keep all products safely stored out of children's reach.

🩺 Pharmacist Counseling Corner

Quick, plain-English answers to the questions patients ask most about Menthol — the kind of thing our pharmacy team would talk through with you at the counter.

What is menthol actually used for? ▾
Menthol is found in a lot of over-the-counter topical products — creams, gels, patches, sprays, and powders. Depending on the product, it's used to temporarily ease minor muscle and joint pain from things like arthritis, backaches, strains, and sprains. Some products, like Meijer Medicated Foot Powder, also help with skin irritation from insect bites, sunburn, or poison ivy. Dentek Canker Cover uses menthol in a patch specifically designed to protect canker sores in your mouth.
How do I use a menthol patch correctly? ▾
Start with clean, dry skin — free of lotions or creams — before applying the patch. Peel the backing off and press the sticky side firmly to the sore area. Most menthol patches should not be worn for longer than 8 hours, and you should use no more than 3 patches per day. Throw the patch away after use, and always wash your hands after handling it. If you're under 12, check with a doctor before using.
Is that burning sensation after I apply it normal? ▾
Yes, a mild burning or tingling feeling right after applying a menthol product is common and usually settles down within a few days of regular use. What's not normal is severe burning, blistering, or swelling at the spot where you applied it — if that happens, stop using it and see a doctor right away. Also, stop if your skin becomes very red or irritated.
Can I use a heating pad at the same time as a menthol patch or cream? ▾
No — this is an important one. You should not use a heating pad on an area where you've applied a menthol product. The same goes for direct sunlight on that skin. There have been rare but serious burn reports when menthol products are combined with heat sources. Let the product do its work on its own, and keep the area away from heat.
Is it safe to use menthol products if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding? ▾
The labels recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before using any menthol topical product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It's always the safest move to get that go-ahead before you start using something new during that time.
What should I do if my child accidentally swallows some of this product? ▾
All of these menthol products are strictly for external use on the skin — they are not meant to be swallowed. If a child (or anyone) accidentally ingests one, don't wait to see what happens. Call Poison Control right away or get emergency medical help immediately. Keep all menthol products stored safely out of reach of children.
Is Menthol available over the counter? ▾
Yes — Menthol is available over the counter (without a prescription) in at least some forms, according to its FDA labeling. Follow the package directions and ask your pharmacist if you're unsure which product is right for you.
When was Menthol first available? ▾
Menthol has been available in the United States since at least 1942, based on FDA approval history (Drugs@FDA) and product marketing records.
Who makes Menthol? ▾
Menthol is supplied by 553 manufacturers listed in the FDA NDC Directory, including Ricola Ag, Ricola USA Inc., Chattem, Inc..

📈 How widely Menthol is used

A general measure of how commonly Menthol is prescribed, based on Medicaid — one of the largest public drug programs. The figure below is prescriptions filled in Q1–Q4 2025, summed across every form and brand of the drug.

Think of this as a proxy for how widely Menthol is used, drawn from freely available public data. Medicaid is just one program — these numbers don’t include Medicare, other government coverage, or commercial and cash-pay prescriptions, so real-world use is higher than what’s shown here.

Shares are of the Medicaid prescriptions shown here. Product grouping follows RxNorm (the National Library of Medicine’s drug terminology), so “one product” means one strength & dosage form regardless of manufacturer. Dollar figures are gross Medicaid reimbursement before mandatory rebates — rebates (often large, especially for brand-name drugs) are confidential, so actual net cost to Medicaid is lower than shown.

Source: Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data (CMS), aggregated by generic ingredient — summed across every NDC (all brands, strengths, salt forms and dosage forms) of Menthol, and across all states and both fee-for-service and managed-care claims. A general popularity signal; it excludes Medicare, commercial insurance and cash prescriptions, so it is not total U.S. use. Based on the 9 of 835 listed Menthol NDCs with Medicaid activity.

RxNorm is the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s normalized drug vocabulary. Its concept hierarchy can include forms that are not currently marketed; the status on each branch compares that concept with current FDA listings. RxCUIs identify vocabulary concepts, not individual packages or manufacturers.

How we combine label and product data

HelloPharmacist combines public FDA and NLM records; we don’t author the underlying clinical facts. We identified 393 FDA-filed SPL label sets within the page’s selected clinical scope after exact ingredient or ingredient-combination matching and applicable route/form matching. The representative label is the starting point for the displayed reference monograph; the 12 largest stored in-scope SPL records, which may include that representative, are compared section by section, and the longest available version of each section is retained. Forms, routes, brands, labelers, product-listed strengths, and product-record counts are aggregated separately from ingredient-matched FDA NDC Directory records; package records listed above are associated with the linked SPL; and the normalized concept hierarchy comes from NLM RxNorm.

For canonical ingredient pages, bounded product-attributed indication and administration excerpts may be added to the AI evidence, and the generator is instructed to preserve available product, brand, route, and form qualifiers instead of treating one label as universal. Where a section is identified as AI-written, its plain-language text is generated from bounded label evidence. New draft drug pages remain in the admin review queue before first publication. Lidl US LLC is the representative DailyMed label linked for verification and dates; it is not the sole source used for the page.

This is general education, not medical advice — always consult your doctor or pharmacist about your medications and any medical condition. For the exact wording of the linked representative label, view that label on DailyMed; some displayed composite sections may come from other in-scope SPL labels.
