1. What is DIP HOT WARMING and what is it used for

DIP HOT WARMING is a medicine with a combined effect of four active substances:
methyl salicylate, menthol, eucalyptus oil, and turpentine oil
This is a cream with a local warming effect. The methyl salicylate contained in the medicine
also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Rubbing the medicine into painful areas causes
the blood vessels to dilate, improving circulation and creating a warming sensation. As a result, muscle and joint pain subsides or decreases.
Dip Hot Warming is used symptomatically:

• for muscle pain
• for joint pain
• for rheumatic pain
• for bruises and joint sprains
• for sciatica
• for athletes after training
• as an auxiliary treatment for gout

2. Important information before using DIP HOT WARMING

Before use, you should test the medicine on a small area of skin to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction.

When not to use DIP HOT WARMING

You should not use the medicine:

• in people allergic to salicylates and menthol.
• on damaged skin.
• in children under 12 years of age.

Warnings and precautions:

• Stop using the medicine if persistent skin redness occurs at the application site.
• Avoid contact with eyes and other sensitive skin areas. If the medicine comes into contact with the eyes, they should be rinsed immediately with a large amount of water, and a doctor should be consulted. The medicine contains lanolin, cetearyl alcohol, and may contain BHT (a stabilizer used in the production of turpentine oil). These ingredients can cause local skin reactions (e.g., contact dermatitis) or eye and mucous membrane irritation. The medicine contains 1 g of propylene glycol in every 100 g of cream, which corresponds to 10 mg/g. Propylene glycol can cause skin irritation. Due to the presence of propylene glycol, the medicine should not be used on open wounds or large areas of damaged or injured skin (e.g., burned skin) without consulting a doctor or pharmacist. In patients with asthma, a reflex bronchospasm may occur, so before using the preparation, they should make sure they are not allergic to its ingredients.

If the pain symptoms do not subside, you should consult a doctor.
Do not use a higher dose than the recommended dose.

Be particularly careful when using DIP HOT WARMING if:

• the patient has asthma (as a reflex bronchospasm may occur).

For external use only.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
