Ammeltz Yoko Yoko (Gold)

Ammeltz Yoko Yoko (Gold) is a topical liquid liniment made for external use only. It is supplied in a bottle with an applicator-style design, so the liquid can be applied to the skin directly without needing to rub it in with the fingers first. The Gold version is positioned as the upgraded variant of the Ammeltz Yoko Yoko range and carries an additional warming ingredient alongside the cooling ones.

The formulation combines methyl salicylate, menthol, camphor and vanillylamide nonylate (nonivamide) in a non-greasy liquid base. Methyl salicylate is a salicylate ester, menthol and camphor are counter-irritants that create cooling and tingling sensations on the skin, and nonivamide is a synthetic capsaicin-type compound that produces a warming sensation. Because the base is liquid rather than a cream or ointment, it leaves little visible residue on the skin once it dries.

Ammeltz Yoko Yoko (Gold) is an over-the-counter product sold through DoctorOnCall as an online pharmacy serving customers in Malaysia and Singapore. The product has a strong, characteristic menthol and camphor scent. Pack sizes follow the variations listed on this page, and our pharmacist team is available if you have questions about the product before ordering.

This product is for external use only. Wash and dry your hands and make sure the skin area is clean, dry and free of cuts, rashes or irritation before application. Shake or hold the bottle as indicated on the packaging, and apply a small amount of the liquid to the intended area of intact skin, spreading it lightly with the applicator or your fingertips.

Apply two to three times daily, or as directed on the pack leaflet. Start with a small amount, particularly if you have not used the product before, as the Gold formulation produces a stronger warming and tingling sensation than standard liniments. Close the cap tightly after each use and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after application, even if you used an applicator.

Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages or plasters, and do not apply heat packs, hot water bottles or heating pads over the area. Keep the liquid away from the eyes, nose, lips, genital area and any other mucous membrane.

For adults and children aged 12 years and above, apply a small amount to the intended area two to three times daily, or as directed on the pack leaflet. Do not exceed the amount or frequency stated on the packaging, and do not apply to large areas of the body at the same time because methyl salicylate can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream.

This product is not recommended for young children unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist. If a dose is missed, simply apply at the next scheduled time; do not apply extra to make up for a missed application. Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if the skin becomes red, swollen, blistered or painful, or if the problem persists after several days of use.

Use before the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer packaging. Do not use the product after the expiry date, and note the date of first opening if you wish to track how long the bottle has been in use.

Store at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat and open flame. Keep the cap tightened after every use, as the ingredients are volatile and the liquid is flammable. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

• Common: Mild redness, warmth or a tingling or stinging sensation at the application site, which usually fades within a short time after application.
• Common: Skin dryness or mild irritation with repeated application over several days.
• Common: Strong menthol and camphor odour that some people find unpleasant, particularly in enclosed spaces.
• Serious: Allergic skin reaction such as rash, itching, swelling or blistering at the site of application; stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
• Serious: Chemical burn-like skin reaction, particularly if the product is applied to broken skin, under tight bandages or combined with heat; seek medical attention promptly.
• Serious: Signs of salicylate absorption after heavy or widespread use, such as ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting or unusual drowsiness; seek urgent medical care.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to methyl salicylate, salicylates, aspirin, menthol, camphor, capsaicin-type compounds or any other ingredient in the product.
• Application to open wounds, cuts, grazes, burns, eczema, rashes or any other area of broken or irritated skin.
• Application to the eyes, inside the nose or mouth, the genital area or any other mucous membrane.
• Use under tight bandages, occlusive dressings or together with heat sources such as heating pads or hot water bottles.
• Use in infants and young children, as camphor-containing products carry a risk of serious toxicity in this age group.

• Warfarin and other anticoagulant medicines: methyl salicylate can be absorbed through the skin and may increase the blood-thinning effect, particularly with heavy or prolonged use; consult a doctor or pharmacist first.
• Oral aspirin, other salicylates and NSAIDs: using these together with a large area of salicylate-containing liniment may add to the total salicylate load.
• Other topical products applied to the same area, such as creams, gels, patches or other liniments: avoid layering products on the same skin site.
• Heat sources such as heating pads, hot compresses or hot water bottles should not be used on the treated area, as heat increases skin absorption and the risk of irritation or burns.
• No known interactions with food or drink.

• Patch-test by applying a small amount to a small area of skin first if you have sensitive skin or have never used a camphor-menthol liniment.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after each application and avoid touching your eyes, nose or lips before you do.
• Allow the liquid to dry on the skin before dressing, and avoid tight clothing over the treated area until it has dried.
• Keep the bottle upright and tightly closed, and store it well away from naked flames, as the liquid is flammable.
• Avoid taking a hot shower or bath immediately before or after application, as warmth can intensify the tingling and warming sensation.
• Keep the product out of reach of children and never apply it near a child’s nose or face.

Precautions: Use for external use only on clean, intact skin. Perform a small patch test if you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to cosmetics, topical medicines, aspirin or other salicylates. Avoid applying to large areas of the body, avoid occlusive bandages and heat sources, and wash your hands after use. Camphor-containing products can be dangerous if applied near the nose or face of young children, so keep this product out of their reach. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking anticoagulant medicines or have an aspirin allergy, asthma, kidney disease or a bleeding disorder.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop using the product and seek medical advice if you notice persistent redness, swelling, blistering, severe itching or burning at the application site, or if you develop a rash, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Seek urgent medical attention if the liquid is swallowed, if a child has been exposed to it, or if you notice ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting or drowsiness after heavy or widespread use. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if the problem you are applying it to does not improve after several days, gets worse, or recurs frequently.
