WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES

The supplied product information identifies its intended uses as relief of pain associated with:

Unlike oral pain medications, topical analgesic patches are applied directly to the affected area.

The adhesive design allows the product to remain in place during normal activities, providing convenient localized application.

The supplied ingredient list identifies methyl salicylate, menthol and camphor as the active ingredients.

However, because the product is specifically named Hot Capsicum Patch, its exact formulation should be verified against the current packaging before publication.

MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS

Active ingredients supplied:

Medicinal Ingredient	Concentration	Purpose
Methyl Salicylate	10%	Topical Analgesic
Menthol	3%	Topical Analgesic

Important Formulation Clarification

The product is identified as Salonpas Hot Capsicum Patch, but the supplied active ingredient list contains methyl salicylate, menthol and camphor.

Capsaicin or capsicum extract is not identified in the supplied ingredient list.

Because different Salonpas patch formulations may contain different active ingredients, the medicinal ingredient list must be confirmed against the current Canadian packaging.

The concentrations above are reproduced from the supplied information and should not be treated as verified specifications for the Hot Capsicum Patch until that discrepancy is resolved.

NON-MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS

A complete non-medicinal ingredient list was not supplied.

The product uses an adhesive patch format, but the specific adhesive materials and other inactive ingredients were not identified.

Always refer to the current product packaging for the complete and most up-to-date ingredient information.

TARGETED MUSCLE & JOINT PAIN RELIEF

Salonpas pain relief patches are designed to deliver topical analgesic ingredients directly to the area of discomfort.

Topical pain relief products may be useful for temporary discomfort associated with everyday activities, minor injuries and certain musculoskeletal conditions.

The supplied product information identifies the following applications:

Muscle Aches: Temporary relief of minor muscle discomfort.

Joint Pain: Targeted relief of minor joint aches.

Backaches: Temporary relief of simple backache and lumbago.

Strains & Sprains: Relief of minor pain associated with strains and sprains.

Arthritis: Temporary relief of arthritis-associated aches and pains.

These patches provide symptomatic relief and do not treat the underlying cause of arthritis or repair injured muscles, ligaments or joints.

LARGE PATCH DESIGN

Each package contains 3 large adhesive patches.

The larger format is intended to provide coverage over broader areas of discomfort, such as the back or larger muscle groups.

The supplied information does not specify the exact dimensions of each patch.

Refer to the current packaging for patch measurements and application limitations.

CONVENIENT, NON-MESSY APPLICATION

Salonpas patches offer a practical alternative to applying topical pain relief creams or gels.

The adhesive format is designed to:

• Keep the product positioned over the affected area
• Minimize handling of topical analgesic ingredients
• Provide convenient application
• Allow discreet wear beneath clothing

The patch should be applied only to clean, dry, intact skin.

DIRECTIONS

The following directions were supplied but should be verified against the current Hot Capsicum Patch label because of the ingredient discrepancy.

How to Apply

1. Clean and dry the affected area. Ensure the skin is free from excess moisture.
2. Remove the protective backing. Carefully peel the patch away from its backing.
3. Apply to the affected area. Place the adhesive patch directly over the area of discomfort.
4. Wear as directed. The supplied instructions specify wearing the patch for up to 8 hours.
5. Remove after use. Gently peel the patch away from the skin.

Frequency

The supplied directions state:

• Use 1 patch at a time.

Important: The stated frequency may not be appropriate for every Salonpas formulation. Do not use multiple patches or repeat applications at this frequency unless the current product label specifically permits it.

Follow the directions printed on the actual product packaging.

PAIR WITH

For a broader muscle and joint comfort routine, consider:

1. Reusable Cold Compress

May help manage discomfort associated with recent minor strains or sprains.

2. Supportive Elastic Bandage

Can provide appropriate compression and support for certain minor injuries when used correctly.

3. Gentle Mobility & Stretching Routine

Appropriate movement may help maintain flexibility and mobility, depending on the cause of discomfort.

4. Ergonomic Support Products

Supportive cushions and appropriate workstation positioning may help reduce everyday muscle strain.

Avoid combining Salonpas patches with heating pads or other topical pain relief products on the same area unless directed by a healthcare professional.
