1. What DIP HOT ROZGRZEWAJĄCY is and what it is used for

DIP HOT ROZGRZEWAJĄCY is a medicine with a combined action of four active substances:
methyl salicylate, menthol, eucalyptus oil, and turpentine oil.
It is a topical cream with a locally warming effect. The methyl salicylate contained in the medicine
also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Rubbing the medicine into painful areas causes
dilation of blood vessels, improved circulation, and a warming sensation. This leads to relief or reduction
of muscular and joint pain.
Dip Hot Rozgrzewający is used symptomatically for:

• muscular pain
• joint pain
• rheumatic pain
• bruises and joint sprains
• sciatica
• post-exercise muscle soreness in athletes
• supportive treatment in colds (as a topical rub)

2. Important information before using DIP HOT ROZGRZEWAJĄCY

Before use, test the product on a small area of skin to minimize the risk of allergic reaction.

When not to use DIP HOT ROZGRZEWAJĄCY

Do not use the medicine:

• in individuals allergic to salicylates and menthol.
• on damaged skin.
• in children under 12 years of age.

Warnings and precautions:

• Discontinue use if persistent redness of the skin occurs at the site of application.
• Avoid contact with eyes and other sensitive areas of skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. The product contains lanolin, cetostearyl alcohol, and may contain BHT (a stabilizer used in the production of turpentine oil). These ingredients may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis) or irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes. The product contains 1 g of propylene glycol in each 100 g of cream, equivalent to 10 mg/g. Propylene glycol may cause skin irritation. Due to the presence of propylene glycol, the product should not be applied to open wounds or large areas of injured or damaged skin (e.g. burned skin) without consulting a doctor or pharmacist. In patients suffering from bronchial asthma, a reflex bronchospasm may occur; therefore, such patients should ensure they are not allergic to the components of the product before use.

If pain symptoms do not subside, consult a doctor.
Do not use a dose greater than the recommended dose.
Exercise particular caution when using DIP HOT ROZGRZEWAJĄCY if:

• the patient suffers from bronchial asthma (due to the risk of reflex bronchospasm).
