What is AtroMed and when is it used?

AtroMed is a fresh plant preparation made from arnica montana blossoms for external use in pain and inflammation of the joints and muscles such as muscle tension, sore muscles, stiff neck, back pain and lumbago. The gel is indicated as a supportive measure for rheumatism, arthritis, arthrosis and gout. The gel is easy to apply, is practically odorless and does not heat up.

What should be considered?

If you suffer from rheumatic diseases, you should avoid acidic foods such as meat, fish, eggs and cheese. You should also avoid denatured foods (white flour, refined sugar, canned food). You should see your doctor if you have new joint problems, especially if there is swelling, redness, overheating or fever, and if the symptoms persist.

When should AtroMed not be used or should only be used with caution?

AtroMed Gel is only intended for external use on undamaged skin. You must not use AtroMed Gel if you are hypersensitive to arnica or if you are on open wounds or mucous membranes.
