Thera-Gesic Pain Relief Cream

When a sore back, aching knees, or stiff shoulders make it hard to move through the day, Thera-Gesic delivers targeted, penetrating relief you rub right where it hurts. This maximum-strength analgesic cream combines menthol and methyl salicylate to warm the muscle, ease deep aches, and quiet the kind of joint and arthritis pain that lingers after activity.

The Thera-Gesic Pain Relief Cream (5 oz., 1%–15% strength) pairs 1% menthol with 15% methyl salicylate, a proven combination that first cools and then warms the treated area. That dual sensation is what makes it a go-to for muscle strains, simple backache, arthritis flare-ups, bruises, and cramping. It absorbs into the skin without the greasy residue many rubs leave behind, so you can apply it before bed or before your day starts and get dressed without worry.

To use, apply generously to the affected area and massage in fully; repeat up to three or four times daily. Because it works on contact rather than through the bloodstream, many people prefer it over oral pain relievers for localized aches. Keep it away from broken skin, the eyes, and mucous membranes, and wash your hands after each application. The 5 oz. tube is a practical size for a nightstand, gym bag, or medicine cabinet, and lasts well through repeated daily use.
