- Read All Directions
Review usage guidelines, ingredients, warnings, expiration date and application instructions before first use. Only apply Pain Relief Creams to your skin unless otherwise indicated. - Do a Patch Test
Apply a small amount to your forearm and wait 24 hours to test for any skin reaction before broader use. Discontinue use if irritation develops. - Use Proper Dosage
Use the smallest amount needed for relief and don’t exceed dosage recommendations. Only apply Pain Relief Creams to painful areas, not all over the body. - Avoid Contact with Mucous Membranes
Keep the Pain Relief Creams away from your eyes, nose and mouth. Rinse immediately if accidental contact occurs. Do not ingest topical creams.
- Limit Daily Use
Unless otherwise directed, limit use to 4-6 times per day. Using too frequently can lead to skin irritation or numbness. Allow several hours between applications. - Monitor for Side Effects
Watch for increased redness, rash, swelling or any discomfort. Report concerns to your pharmacist or doctor, especially if symptoms don’t resolve after discontinuing use.
By carefully following usage guidelines, you can safely maximize the benefits of pain relief creams. Report any concerns promptly to your healthcare provider.
