🩺 Clinical
Rite Aid Chest Rub is a topical ointment containing camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol. These ingredients are commonly used in over-the-counter rubs applied to the skin and chest to produce a cooling or warming sensation and may help open airways. This product is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows established FDA guidelines for chest rubs rather than being individually reviewed. It is intended for external application only.
