Clinical
CVS Health Medicated Chest Rub is a topical ointment containing camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol. These ingredients are commonly found in chest rubs and are typically used to produce a cooling or warming sensation on the skin and may help open airways when applied to the chest and throat. This is an over-the-counter monograph product, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established rules for this category of medicine rather than as an individually approved drug application.
