Atrogel – Arnica gel for muscle and joint pain

Atrogel is a herbal remedy made from extracts of fresh Arnica flowers and is an easy-to-apply non-greasy gel. It is ideal if you are looking for a treatment to relieve pain in conditions such as muscle aches or pains, stiffness or after sporting injuries. It can be used up to 4 times a day.

• Firstly, used for relieving pain and bruising in adults, children, and the elderly.
• Apply 2 to 10 cm of the gel gently to the affected area. Use between 2 and 4 times daily for pain relief.
• Secondly, it is used by those who are pregnant.
• Don’t use Atrogel^® if you have broken or irritated skin, if you are allergic to arnica preparations or other members of the daisy (Asteraceae / Compositae) family, or any of the other ingredients.
• Must use within 5 months of opening.

The active ingredient is the liquid extract of fresh Arnica flowers. 1g of gel contains 500mg of extract which is equivalent to an average of 160mg fresh Arnica flowers. The other ingredients are ethanol, purified water, glycerol (plant origin) and ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer (thickener).

• If they persist, become serious or are worrying to you,
• or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, talk to a doctor, pharmacist or healthcare practitioner.
