Eagle Brand Medicated Oil is a popular Asian remedy for aches and pains of muscle or joints. It is normally seen in small clear bottles filled with a green liquid.
Eagle Brand Medicated Oil is manufactured by the Borden Company (PTE) Limited of Singapore for distribution in the United States of America by Anhing Corporation in Los Angeles.[1]
Ingredients
According to a 1987 FDA alert, Eagle Brand Medicated Oil has two formulas: one sold in the United States of America and one sold elsewhere. The formula sold in the United States of America consisted of: menthol (13.5%), ethyl alcohol (13%), methyl salicylate (4.5%), chlorophyll, mineral oil, and otto of roses.
The other older formula consisted of: 12% chloroform and 20% methyl salicylate, among other ingredients. Chloroform is carcinogenic and such high levels of methyl salicylate can be toxic.[2]
Since then the formula has been updated to exclude the chloroform and methyl salicylate.
