Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use Atrogel® Arnica Gel?
Atrogel® Arnica Gel is a traditional herbal
medicinal product for the symptomatic relief of muscular aches, pains
and stiffness, sprains, bruises and swelling after contusions,
exclusively based on long-standing use.
Can Atrogel® be used for children?
Yes it can but we always recommend that any
child under the age of 2 should be seen by a healthcare professional if
there is any cause for concern.
How often should I apply it?
Adults should apply 2 - 10 cm gently to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily.
Apply similarly for children and the elderly. Apply externally only.
Are there any special precautions I should take?
Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Avoid
contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If using on the hands, ensure
that the fingertips are washed before coming into contact with eyes,
lips, etc. Discontinue use if redness, irritation or dry skin occurs.
Will Atrogel® work for sports injuries?
Atrogel® is effective in the treatment of
bruises, sprains and strains. Also Atro-Bath Oil helps soothe
aches and pains after physical activity.
Is there anyone who can’t use Atrogel®?
Arnica is not recommended for anyone allergic to
the daisy family [Asteraceae (Compositae)], arnica or one of the other
ingredients.
What does 'based on traditional use' mean?
Many herbs have been used for a long period of years to relieve certain conditions, such as Horse Chestnut for varicose veins or Saw palmetto berries for urinary problems in men. This 'traditional use' can now be reflected on the packaging of products that have achieved registration under the Tradional Herbal Medicines Directive. Each claim derives from the documented long term medicinal use of the herb as shown in respected reference sources such as pharmacopoeias, publications by experts in herbal medicine, and EU member state approved lists of herbs and their uses, rather than being based on the results of clinical trials.
