Muscle Cramps

A muscle cramp is a painful contraction with visible hardening in a localized area of a muscle or muscle group. Cramps are generally brief in duration, but they can temporarily immobilize you. In athletes, the physiological cause for muscle cramps is excessive exercise or dehydration. The soothing medicinal properties in Omega 3 spray may be effective in relieving the pain associated with muscle cramps.

Omega 3 Spray

Omega 3 spray is a topical spray used to relieve muscle soreness due to cramps. The spray is available in 4 ounce and 8 ounce containers. Relief lasts for up to six hours. The principal active ingredients in the spray are menthol, at 12 percent and camphor at 6 percent. Menthol is extracted from peppermint and is cooling on the skin. It offers a slight pain-killing sensation and is followed by reflex local vasodilation. This combination of effects makes it a popular ingredient for liniments for muscular and joint pains. Camphor is derived from the camphor plant known as Cinnamomum camphora. It can also be synthetically produced from turpentine. It gets absorbed through the skin, creating a cooling effect that acts as a mild local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory.

Alternative Omega 3 Products

Alternatives you may consider to Omega 3 spray are Omega 3 Heat Therapy Cream and Omega 3 Triple Strength Pain Relief Rub. Omega 3 Triple Strength Pain Relief Rub has the same principal active ingredients as Omega 3 spray, but it is formulated in a thicker cream form. Omega 3 Heat Therapy Cream does not contain menthol and camphor. It contains as its principal active ingredient capsicum oleoresin at 0.0625 percent, which contains capsaicin for pain relief. Capsaicin is the ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Topical capsaicin can cause a burning sensation, which is usually mild and should lessen over time with continued use.

Precautions

Avoid getting camphor, menthol or capsaicin in your mouth or eyes or near your nose. Do not apply products with these ingregients to open wounds or irritated skin. Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
