Deep Heating Rub

Deep Heating Rub is a topical rub or balm classified as a warming topical counter-irritant preparation. Its formulation contains Menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate, eucalyptus oil and other listed botanical extracts, with the exact strength or quantitative composition to be confirmed from the current product packaging where the batch information does not provide a verified value. The dosage form is designed for the route stated on the label, and the physical characteristics of the product determine how it is prepared, applied or taken. Customers should check the pack before use so that the correct strength, formulation and instructions are matched to the product in hand.

The formulation has a defined pharmaceutical or physical profile rather than being interchangeable with other products that may have a similar brand or general category. Menthol and camphor activate sensory receptors associated with cooling and warming sensations, while methyl salicylate provides a topical salicylate component. Eucalyptus oil and other aromatic ingredients contribute to the product’s sensory profile. These actions occur primarily at the skin surface and superficial sensory nerves. Product handling also matters: application technique, measuring accuracy, contact time and storage conditions can affect appropriate use. Keep the original packaging available so the batch, expiry information and current manufacturer instructions can be checked whenever necessary.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and massage gently until absorbed if the label instructs massage. Wash hands immediately afterwards. Keep away from eyes, lips, nostrils and other sensitive areas, and do not cover tightly with a dressing unless directed.

Close the container firmly after each use and store in a cool, dry place away from flames, heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of children’s reach.

• Common: Mild local irritation, redness, itching or transient sensitivity may occur, particularly with topical preparations.
• Common: Mild transient discomfort at the application site or sensitivity can occur depending on the formulation.
• Serious: Stop use and seek urgent medical attention for facial or throat swelling, difficulty breathing, widespread blistering rash, severe dizziness or other signs of a serious allergic reaction.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any active or inactive ingredient.
• Application to broken, infected or severely irritated skin where the formulation is intended only for intact skin.

• Do not combine several topical products containing salicylates over the same area without pharmacist advice.
• People taking anticoagulants or with aspirin/salicylate sensitivity should ask a pharmacist before repeated or extensive application.
• Avoid applying the product under external heat because heat can increase skin absorption and irritation.

• Read the current label before the first use and check the strength or formulation.
• Use the measuring device supplied with liquid medicines instead of a household spoon.
• Wash hands before and after topical application unless the hands are the treated area.
• Keep the original packaging so expiry, batch and ingredient information remain available.
• Do not share medicines, applicators or single-use topical products with another person.
• Ask a pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, caring for a child, taking regular medicines or unsure about the correct dose.

Precautions: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin or combine with heating pads. Avoid use in people with salicylate sensitivity unless a pharmacist confirms it is appropriate. Stop for intense burning, blistering, wheezing or facial swelling.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek medical or dental assessment for severe, persistent, rapidly worsening or unexplained symptoms, or whenever the product is not producing the expected response within the labelled period.
