Apply thinly to the affected parts of the body one to several times a day and rub and massage into the skin until dry. If you apply a dressing, the solution should dry on the skin for a few minutes beforehand. The use of an airtight dressing (occlusive dressing) is not recommended. Simultaneous cold therapy (cryotherapy) is not recommended due to the possible additional skin irritation. Large-scale use is not recommended.

The therapeutic benefit of use beyond this period has not been proven.

If you have used a larger amount than you should or in case of accidental ingestion

Please notify your doctor. Specific antidotes are not known; under no circumstances should milk or alcoholic beverages be drunk, as this can promote the absorption of essential oils.

If you stop using it or if you have any further questions on the use of the medicine

Contact your doctor or pharmacist.

4. WHAT SIDE EFFECTS ARE POSSIBLE?

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The following categories are used as a basis for the frequency of side effects:
Very common:	more than 1 in 10 treated persons
Common:	1 to 10 in 100 treated persons

In appropriately sensitised patients, essential oils and camphor can cause hypersensitivity reactions, e.g. on the mucous membranes (including shortness of breath and airway constriction (bronchospasm)) and the skin with skin redness, itching, burning, rash also with pustule and wheal formation or local allergic reactions (contact dermatitis). In infants and children up to 30 months, the medicine can cause laryngeal spasm with the consequence of severe breathing difficulties. The inhalation of essential oils can trigger coughing. Bronchospasms can be intensified. The frequency of occurrence of the mentioned side effects is not known.
