🩺 Clinical
Pain 3.1 g/1001 is an over-the-counter topical patch containing camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate. This product is marketed under FDA's OTC monograph rules for external analgesics. These three active ingredients are commonly included in topical pain-relief products and are typically used to create a warming or cooling sensation on the skin. The patch format allows the ingredients to be applied directly to a localized area of discomfort.
