🩺 Clinical
Advil Targeted Relief is a topical cream marketed under FDA's over-the-counter monograph rules for pain-relief products. It contains four active ingredients that work together: menthol and camphor produce a cooling sensation on the skin, capsaicin is derived from chili peppers and is commonly used in topical creams to reduce discomfort, and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) is typically included in pain-relief creams. The combination is intended to be applied directly to the skin over areas where relief is sought.
