Salonpas Comfort Stretch patches provide Menthol and Methyl Salicylate for pain relief. Both are categorized as topical analgesics or pain relievers. Methyl Salicylate is also an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). NSAIDs block certain pain related enzymes in the body resulting in reductions of swelling, inflammation and pain. Once you apply Comfort Stretch patches, the active ingredients quickly pass through the keratinous, epidermis, and dermis layers of the skin.
