Perskindol Cool Arnica Gel Tb 50 ml

What is Perskindol  Cool Gel Arnica and when is it used?

Perskindol Cool Gel Arnica is a locally effective, externally applied drug. The gel contains arnica and levomenthol. Levomenthol expands the blood vessels, refreshes the skin, relieves pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It also contains an analgesic component of plant origin (arnica), which is responsible for rapid cooling and pain relief in the affected part of the body. The gel is applied for the symptomatic treatment of hematomas (bruising) as a result of blunt injuries such as bruises, contusions, strains and dislocations.

The active ingredients in Perskindol Cool Gel Arnica are quickly absorbed by the skin and have a direct effect on the underlying tissue and joint areas.

When should Perskindol Cool Gel Arnica not be used or only with caution?

In case of known hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients (see composition). Do not use on infants and young children. Do not apply to open wounds or eczematous inflamed skin or mucous membranes. Avoid contact in the eye area. Only use with air-permeable compresses.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you:

• suffer from other diseases
• have allergies (arnica allergy)
• apply other medications, including home-bought, topically (locally) or systemically.

Can Perskindol Cool Gel Arnica be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Based on previous experience, there is no known risk for the child when used as intended. However, systematic scientific investigations have never been carried out. As a precaution, you should avoid taking medicines during pregnancy and breastfeeding or ask your doctor, pharmacist or druggist for advice.
