HOE A-Bruzzy Gel

HOE A-Bruzzy Gel is a topical herbal gel manufactured by HOE Pharmaceuticals Sdn. Bhd. and sold in Malaysia as an OTC product in a 15g tube. Its confirmed active ingredients are Arnica montana flower extract, Calendula officinalis flower extract, and Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, combined in a topical gel base.

The formulation places HOE A-Bruzzy Gel in the botanical/plant-extract category of topical gels, distinct from menthol-camphor rub-type products and from heparinoid-based gels. It is presented as a light, non-greasy, fast-absorbing gel suitable for external application to the skin.

As an OTC product, HOE A-Bruzzy Gel can be purchased at pharmacies in Malaysia and Singapore without a doctor’s prescription, and is commonly kept in household first aid kits.

• Clean and dry the affected area of skin before application.
• Apply a thin layer of HOE A-Bruzzy Gel gently onto the affected area, 2 to 3 times daily, depending on the area and how it is being used.
• Rubbing in is not required; allow the gel to be absorbed into the skin on its own.
• Wash hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin, or mucous membranes.

HOE A-Bruzzy Gel is for external use on the skin only. A thin layer covering the affected area is sufficient for each application.

The gel is generally applied 2 to 3 times a day. Do not apply more frequently than directed on the pack, and do not use under an occlusive dressing unless advised by a pharmacist or doctor.

This product is not intended for oral use or use in the eyes, mouth, nose, or on mucous membranes.

Use HOE A-Bruzzy Gel before the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging. Do not use the gel after this date.

Store HOE A-Bruzzy Gel below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the tube tightly capped after each use.
• Store out of the reach and sight of children.
• Do not freeze.

• Common: Mild, transient stinging or warmth at the application site.
• Common: Temporary redness of the skin where the gel is applied.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic skin reaction, such as rash, hives, marked swelling, or blistering, which need prompt medical attention.
• Serious: Worsening irritation or a burning sensation that does not settle after washing off the gel.

• Do not use if there is a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Arnica montana, Calendula officinalis (marigold), Aloe barbadensis, or plants in the daisy (Asteraceae/Compositae) family, such as ragweed, chrysanthemums, or marigolds.
• Do not apply to open wounds, broken or infected skin, or mucous membranes.
• Do not use in or near the eyes.

• HOE A-Bruzzy Gel is applied externally to intact skin, so clinically significant interactions with oral medicines or food are not expected with normal use.
• Avoid applying other topical products to the same area at the same time, as this may affect absorption or increase the risk of skin irritation.
• No specific food interactions have been identified for this product.

• Apply to clean, dry skin for even absorption.
• A thin layer is enough; there is no need to rub the gel in firmly.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Keep the tube capped tightly between uses to prevent it from drying out.
• Do a small patch test first if you have sensitive skin or a history of plant allergies.
• Keep out of reach of children and away from the eyes.

Precautions: Do a small patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies to plants in the daisy family. Avoid applying near the eyes or on broken skin. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children should check with a pharmacist before use.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if the treated area shows signs of infection, if a rash, blistering, or marked swelling develops after application, or if the area does not appear to be settling as expected over a reasonable period of self-care.

HOE A-Bruzzy Gel is intended for minor, everyday skin situations and is not a substitute for medical assessment of more significant injuries.
