Playing softball with your friends, you beat out the throw to first, but now you're rolling on the ground with a cramp in your calf muscle. Playing a pick-up game of basketball on your neighborhood court, your team wins the game, only later to have your muscles feel the agony of defeat. Starting your new exercise program at the gym, you finished your workout, but awake the next morning feeling as if the workout has finished you. Cramps in the calf muscles (a painful involuntary contraction of a single muscle or a muscle group) are so common as to be considered normal. It may occur in "weekend athletes" due to electrolyte disturbances and lack of salt replacement.

Of course, sudden strenuous activity without warming up may be associated with muscle and tendon tears which lead to temporary acute muscle pain, swelling and tenderness.

THERA-GESIC® can provide effective relief of muscle soreness from over enthusiastic weekend athletes.

THERA-GESIC® has a special penetrating delivery system, which ensures maximum effectiveness against pain.

Gently massage thin layers of the creme into and around the sore or painful area. The number of thin layers control the intensity of action:

• One thin layer provides a mild effect
• Two thin layers provide a strong effect
• Three thin layers provide a very strong effect.

You can apply THERA-GESIC® Creme up to 4 times daily.

THERA-GESIC® has a special greaseless, non-staining formula. Once THERA-GESIC® Creme has penetrated the skin, the area may be washed, leaving it dry, clean and fragrance-free without decreasing the effectiveness of the product.
