Inhalant Softgel Capsules and Throat Sprays (Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptol, Chlorothymol, Terpineol, Chamomile, Sage, Pine oil) is an aromatic essential oil steam inhalant and soothing throat formulation. When dissolved in hot water or sprayed, volatile vapors stimulate sensory trigeminal thermoreceptors (TRPM8), providing a subjective sensation of cool, unobstructed nasal breathing, while exerting mild antiseptic and secretomotor action on the respiratory tract.

Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Bromhexine Expectorant Formulations (with Levosalbutamol or Terbutaline Syrup) is a comprehensive wet cough and mucociliary clearance formula on the PMBI formulary. Ambroxol stimulates pulmonary surfactant secretion by type II pneumocytes and depolymerizes mucopolysaccharides; bromhexine fragments mucin fibers; guaifenesin increases the volume and hydration of respiratory secretions, reducing mucus adhesiveness; and levosalbutamol/terbutaline relaxes bronchial smooth muscle. Indicated for productive wet cough associated with acute bronchitis, COPD, bronchiectasis, asthma, and tracheobronchitis.

Diphenhydramine (13.5mg), Ammonium Chloride (135mg), Sodium Citrate (57mg), and Menthol Cough Syrup is a classic multi-action antitussive and expectorant syrup. Diphenhydramine provides central antitussive action and H1-antihistaminic relief; ammonium chloride is an irritant expectorant that liquefies bronchial secretions; sodium citrate acts as a mild systemic buffer; and menthol provides cooling soothing throat relief. Indicated for cough, cold, and throat irritation.

Jan Pudina Soft Gel Capsules (Peppermint Oil / Menthol formulation) is a natural herbal carminative and antispasmodic on the PMBI formulary. Menthol, the active terpene of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita), selectively blocks voltage-gated L-type calcium channels on gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells, exerting direct smooth muscle relaxation and spasmolysis on the stomach and colonic wall. It relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter to facilitate gas evacuation and acts as a mild choleretic. Indicated for relief of gas bloating, indigestion, flatulence, abdominal distension, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cramping.

Tannic Acid Glycerin (27% w/v), Potassium Iodide, Iodine, Menthol, and Thymol Mouth Paint is a traditional astringent and antiseptic oral formulation. Tannic acid precipitates surface proteins on inflamed mucous membranes, forming a protective barrier that reduces bleeding, tightens lax spongy gums, and decreases exudation. Iodine and thymol exert antiseptic action against oral pathogens, while menthol provides soothing cooling pain relief. Indicated for bleeding gums, gingivitis, spongy gums, periodontitis, and painful aphthous lesions.

Diclofenac Diethylamine / Sodium Formulations (1.16%-2% Gel, Spray, and 200mg Transdermal Patch with Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, Linseed/Sesame Oil, or Thiocolchicoside) is a targeted topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory formulation. Diclofenac penetrates through the stratum corneum directly into underlying joints, tendons, and muscles, inhibiting local COX-2 and prostaglandin production with minimal systemic plasma concentrations (<1-2% of oral levels). Methyl salicylate and menthol provide counterirritant distraction and cooling relief; linseed oil delivers alpha-linolenic acid to reduce local swelling. Indicated for localized joint pain in osteoarthritis (knees, hands), acute muscle strains, sprains, backache, and sports trauma.

Aceclofenac (1.0% w/w) and Menthol (5.0% w/w) Spray is a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and counterirritant formulation.

Menthol stimulates cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors to produce a cooling soothing effect followed by mild analgesic vasodilation. Indicated for localized relief of pain, sprains, strains, contusions, and musculoskeletal injuries.
