Clinical
Leader Ultra Strength Muscle Rub is a topical cream applied directly to the skin, containing camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate. These ingredients are commonly used together in over-the-counter topical analgesics to produce a warming or cooling sensation and are typically used for temporary relief of minor muscle aches and joint discomfort. This product is marketed under FDA's OTC monograph rules for topical analgesics rather than as an individually approved application.
