Menthol is either manmade or made from the extracts of mint oil. Menthol provides a cooling sensation when applied to the skin or other tissues (such as the tongue, gums, or inside the cheeks). Menthol topical oral mucous membrane (for use inside the mouth) is used to treat minor sore throat pain, or mouth irritation caused by a canker sore. Menthol topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Slideshow Chronic Pain Management: A Healthcare Professional's Guide What is the most important information I should know about menthol topical? Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using menthol topical? You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to menthol. Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use this medicine if you have other medical conditions, especially: cough with mucus; cough caused by smoking, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis; a sore throat with fever, headache, swelling, skin rash, or nausea and vomiting; or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Stop using and call your doctor if you have a cough that does not improve after 7 days of treatment. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. What happens if I miss a dose?
