The combined effect of 2 components of drugs allows you to eliminate pain in the muscles and improve the motor activity of the joint. Drug effect is local.
Immediately after treatment with ointment, redness occurs, which indicates that its elements have penetrated into the epidermis. The maximum effect of the drug develops after half an hour.
Dosing and administration
Before starting treatment, apply a little ointment on a small area of the epidermis to determine the response to the drug. For 1 procedure on the affected area of 10x10 cm is required to apply 0.5 cm of the substance using an applicator. Repeat this treatment should be 2-3 times per day. After the procedure, the hands need to be washed with soap and water.
To enhance the medicinal effect of the treatment area can be closed with wool fabric.
It is forbidden to take a shower for some time after the treatment or to rinse the medicine off with hot water.
When using too much ointment, the patient may have vesicles. It is also required to prevent the substance from getting into the eyes or nose, as well as on the face, because this may cause a burning sensation in the eye area, conjunctival inflammation or facial puffiness. If the ointment gets into your mouth, you may experience discomfort or stomatitis. Multiple use of drugs leads to a weakening of the reaction to it, which may require an increase in dosage.
