Mentholatum

“Topical analgesics, such as the Deep Heat and Deep Freeze ranges, offer targeted, effective pain relief,” says Jillian Watt, director of marketing/NPD at The Mentholatum Company. “So when patients ask what they can use to relieve musculoskeletal pain, we would like pharmacists to ‘think topical’.” The two ranges are both available in a variety of formats, so Mentholatum offers something to suit most requirements, she adds.
