Methyl Salicylate inactive ingredients by manufacturer

Wondering whether your Methyl Salicylate has lactose, gluten, soy, a dye or gelatin in it? The medicine is the same, but the fillers, coatings and colors differ from one company to the next. This page shows what each Methyl Salicylate product's FDA label lists, so you can find a version that leaves out what you avoid and ask your pharmacist for it by its NDC.

We have read the FDA labels of 55 of the 55 current Methyl Salicylate products on the market today, from 27 companies listing it with the FDA, and lined them up side by side.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Curated and coded by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS, clinical pharmacist. The ingredient groups this page checks for (what counts as a gluten source, a synthetic dye, soy and so on) are his classification; the lists themselves are the manufacturers' own FDA labels. Updated October 6, 2026. Rebuilt daily from the FDA directory; labels re-read when the FDA publishes a new version.

Ask about your bottle

Is there something in your Methyl Salicylate? Ask in plain words.

Name the company, strength or the NDC on your bottle and the ingredient you avoid. The answer comes only from the FDA labels on this page.

Answers are drawn from the FDA label data on this page and checked against it. They are not medical advice: confirm with your pharmacist before relying on them.

At the pharmacy counter

How to use this at the pharmacy counter

  1. Pick the company whose list suits you and copy the NDC from the table. Many pharmacies order from wholesalers that carry several companies' versions and can request a particular one if you ask before the prescription is filled; some buy from one contracted source only, and a few insurance plans cover only certain NDCs, so ask the pharmacist to check.
  2. Treat "does not list" as exactly that. The label is what the manufacturer declared; a flavor or a starch may have an unstated source, and lines change. For celiac disease or a serious allergy, ask the manufacturer's medical information line for a written statement about the lot you have.
  3. Check the bottle each refill. A different company usually means a different shape, color and inactive-ingredient list; the pharmacist can tell you who made it, and the two-NDC comparison shows the difference line by line.
  4. If you need one company's version kept constant, ask your prescriber to write that company or the NDC on the prescription and tell the pharmacy you need it held. Rules vary by state and plan, so confirm with the pharmacist.

Common questions about Methyl Salicylate inactive ingredients

Is Methyl Salicylate gluten-free?
This page cannot certify any Methyl Salicylate product gluten-free; it reports what each label declares. Of the 55 products checked, none lists a wheat, barley, rye or gluten ingredient, and none lists a starch without a stated source. If you have celiac disease, ask the manufacturer's medical information line for a written gluten statement for the lot you have.
Does Methyl Salicylate contain lactose?
No checked Methyl Salicylate product lists lactose on its label. People with a milk allergy or a strong intolerance often prefer a version that does not list it.
Does Methyl Salicylate contain soy?
1 of 55 checked Methyl Salicylate products list a soy ingredient (soybean oil or soy lecithin); 54 do not: Advanced Rx of Tennessee (250 mg/g ointment or gel topical cream), Alaina Healthcare Private (25 g/60 g ointment or gel topical cream), Alexso (10 g/100 g skin patch, 30 g/100 g ointment or gel topical cream and 250 mg/g ointment or gel topical cream and 2 more) and Cosmax (25 g/100 mL ointment or gel topical cream) and 22 other companies. Soy lecithin is the usual form and the amount is small, but people with a soy allergy often prefer a version that does not list it.
Is there a dye-free Methyl Salicylate?
14 of 55 checked Methyl Salicylate products list a synthetic dye (an FD&C or D&C colorant); 41 do not: Advanced Rx of Tennessee (250 mg/g ointment or gel topical cream), Alaina Healthcare Private (25 g/60 g ointment or gel topical cream), Alexso (10 g/100 g skin patch, 30 g/100 g ointment or gel topical cream and 250 mg/g ointment or gel topical cream and 2 more) and Balassa (0.25 g/g ointment or gel topical cream) and 21 other companies. Colorants often differ by strength within one company's line, so compare the lists above strength by strength.
Does Methyl Salicylate contain gelatin?
No checked Methyl Salicylate product lists gelatin on its label. Gelatin is usually bovine or porcine and the label rarely says which; for kosher, halal or vegetarian needs, ask the manufacturer.
Why do the inactive ingredients differ between manufacturers?
A generic must match the brand's active ingredient, strength, dose form and how it is absorbed; its fillers, binders, coatings and colorants are the manufacturer's own choice. That is why one Methyl Salicylate product can list lactose and a dye while another from a different company lists neither.
Can my pharmacy give me a specific manufacturer's version?
Often, if you ask before the prescription is filled: many pharmacies order from wholesalers that carry several companies' versions and can request a particular one. Some pharmacies buy a generic from one contracted source only, and a few insurance plans cover only certain NDCs, so ask the pharmacist to check. Give them the NDC from this page; the company name alone is often enough.
How current is this list?
The products are the ones in the FDA's current NDC directory as of October 6, 2026. The list is rebuilt every day, the FDA directory is re-imported every week, and each inactive-ingredient list is the manufacturer's FDA label as our label sync last read it, re-read when the FDA publishes a new version. Formulations change, so check the label on your own bottle and ask your pharmacist if a refill looks different.

Sources: the products are the finished Methyl Salicylate products in the FDA's current NDC directory (openFDA), as of October 6, 2026; each inactive-ingredient list is the manufacturer's FDA Structured Product Label via DailyMed, as our label sync last read it. The concern groups are HelloPharmacist's classification of the names the label declares.
