Regular applications of Stopain or Extra Strength Stopain (3 to 4 times daily), combined with a moderate exercise routine, a low fat diet and reduced stress won’t cure your arthritis but will improve your quality of life through better pain management.

The unique formulations of Stopain are ideally suited to provide immediate, penetrating pain relief through its high quality ingredients. Menthol is recognized by the FDA as being a big pain relieving ingredient and peppermint oil has also been found to relax muscles and contribute to pain relief. MSM has been found to help decrease inflammation and eucalyptus oil increases circulation in the skin and underlying tissue. Glucosamine has been found to help stimulate collagen production in arthritic and damaged joints.

Stopain can also be used with other oral medications and it can be purchased easily without prescription.

The active ingredient in Stopain is menthol, recognized by the FDA as an analgesic indicated for the temporary relief for minor pains and stiffness of arthritis, muscle aches, strains and simple backaches. It also contains peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil, recognized by the FDA for their analgesic properties. Extra-strength Stopain formulas also contain glucosamine and MSM, essential nutrients that support joint health and mobility.

It is recommended that Stopain be used no more than 3 – 4 times per day. More frequent application may cause mild skin irritation or burning.

Stopain provides temporary relief that varies with the individual user and the amount applied. Most users say the relief lasts several hours.
