How Medobalm Lotion 8.6 g works

Medicated balms/lotions typically contain counterirritants that create a cooling/warming sensation on the skin. This distracts from underlying pain/itch and may mildly reduce inflammation locally, providing temporary relief.

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed; use 2–3 times daily or as directed on the label. Avoid applying on broken/irritated skin and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
