Interaction

The drug causes skin hyperemia and reflexively increases blood circulation in the subcutaneous tissue, thus, combined use with other topical drugs may lead to increased absorption. The use of large amounts may increase the toxicity of methotrexate and reduce the therapeutic effect of hypoglycemic agents. The drug should not be used with oral anticoagulants.

In rare cases hypersensitivity to the drug, skin allergic reactions (skin itching, urticaria, skin rash) and angioedema develop.

Overdose

Overdose of menthol and methyl salicylate has been observed in isolated cases, mainly in children by accidental ingestion of drugs containing these substances.

The symptoms of overdose include agitation, increased depth of breathing, hyperpyrexia, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and symptoms of central nervous system depression such as dizziness, unsteady gait, blood “rushes” to the face, drowsiness, respiratory depression and coma.

The treatment is symptomatic and supportive: correction of water-electrolyte balance, administration of adsorbents and saline laxatives, forced diuresis, external body cooling; in severe cases – blood transfusion, hemodialysis.

Overdose when used topically occurs rarely and only if the drug is used improperly (application to mucous membranes, large areas of damaged or infected skin).
