Tiger Balm Red Ointment

Camphor 25% w/w, Menthol 10% w/w, Cajuput oil 7% w/w, Clove oil 5% w/w, Cassia oil 5% w/w (typical Tiger Balm Red formula; check label for exact strengths)

Temporary relief of minor muscular aches and pains, backache, sprains and strains, joint pain, stiffness, headache (external application), itching due to insect bites (symptomatic relief)

Acts as a topical counterirritant. Ingredients like camphor and menthol stimulate nerve endings and produce warming/cooling sensations that distract from pain and reduce the perception of soreness in muscles and joints.

For external use only. Apply a small amount to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed 2–3 times daily or as needed. For headache, apply a small amount to temples/forehead avoiding eyes. Do not apply on broken/irritated skin; wash hands after use.

Skin irritation, redness, burning or stinging sensation, itching, rash, allergic reaction (rare)

External use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes and open wounds. Do not use under tight bandage or with heating pad; may increase irritation/burn risk. Stop use and consult a doctor if severe irritation occurs or pain persists. Keep out of reach of children; accidental ingestion is harmful. Use with caution in children; avoid use in very young children unless advised by a doctor.

No significant systemic drug interactions expected with topical use; avoid using with other topical irritants/medicated balms on the same area to reduce irritation risk.

Store tightly closed at room temperature (below 25–30°C), away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep away from moisture.
