How to take Freeze It?
Please read and heed any directions included with your medication, if unsure ask your pharmacist or doctor. If something doesn't make sense, consult them! Apply a small patch of skin with medication to see how it reacts. Take it by mouth only; topical medicines must only be applied topically on the skin, and never apply directly over open wounds, sunburned or windburned areas, dry, irritated or itchy patches on skin, open wounds or open sores. Once your medication has been applied, ensure to wash both hands thoroughly with soap. Camphor and menthol may cause a mild burning or numbing sensation that should diminish with continued usage of these products. If symptoms become bothersome, cleanse with soap and warm water as soon as possible to alleviate them. Avoid covering treated skin with heating pads or bandages. This medication should not be applied within 30 minutes after showering or taking a bath. If your symptoms don't improve within 7 days, or you experience fever, headache or skin eruption symptoms - or pain persists or returns after disappearing for some days - seek medical advice immediately. Store canisters at room temperature away from moisture or heat at a suitable room temperature, out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources such as radiators or open flames and puncturing or burning is never an appropriate practice.
What happens if I miss the dose?
The dosage of camphor and menthol depends on the need and is not set daily. Use the product only as directed on the packaging.
What happens if I overdose?
Overdoses of Freeze It are generally safe. Should anyone accidentally consume too much, seek emergency medical treatment immediately or contact Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 immediately for advice.
What should be avoided?

Interaction with other drug
Other medications you take are unlikely to interfere with the medicine applied directly to your skin; however, many drugs interact.
