Orudis - Arthritis Pain Medicine

This mug is one of those mugs which first got me interested.  It is from a pharmaceutical company advertising Orudis Pain Medication. It is a 2 sided mug, with the same design on both sides. Above you can see it says "WHEN ARTHRITIS FLARES...WHEN THE SPRAIN'S A PAIN" above a picture of a knee and ORUDIS with the generic name below it "ketoprofen."  There is a rectangle above the name, and there is also a star burst pattern on the knee.  This is an old mug and the color change has been affected by microwave or uv damage.  I expect that the thermographic ink would have been a bright red or pink indicating the pain on the knee. 
When hot liquid is added, the rectangle clears to show "PUTS OUT THE FIRE FAST" and the star burst pattern also clears to show a normal knee (no pain.)

This is no doubt a free mug, given to doctors' offices by reps advertising the pain medicine.

DESIGN:  2 Sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: Advertising, Freebie
