- Pain relief for stiff neck and shoulders
- Pain relief for other muscle aches and pains
- For sporting injuries such as joint sprains & strains
- Made from extracts of freshly harvested Arnica
- Can be used with other medicines
Atrogel® Arnica gel is a traditional herbal medicinal product used for the symptomatic relief of muscular aches, pains and stiffness, sprains and bruising, exclusively based upon long-standing use as a traditional remedy. Always read the leaflet
Atrogel® is made from extracts of fresh Arnica flowers and is an easy-to-apply non-greasy gel. It can be used up to 4 times a day.
Atrogel® Arnica gel may be used to relieve muscular pain and bruising in adults, children and the elderly. Apply 2 to 10 cm of the gel gently to the affected area. Use between 2 and 4 times daily for pain relief.
Don’t use Atrogel® if you have broken or irritated skin, if you are allergic to arnica preparations or other members of the daisy (Asteraceae / Compositae) family, or any of the other ingredients.
The active ingredient is the liquid extract of fresh Arnica flowers. 1g of gel contains 500mg of extract which is equivalent to an average of 160mg fresh Arnica flowers. The other ingredients are ethanol, purified water, glycerol (plant origin) and ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer (thickener).
After opening, store below 25oC and use within 6 months.
Like all arnica products used externally, Atrogel® Arnica gel can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Minor side effects can occur when using Atrogel® Arnica gel. These are likely to affect less than 1 in every 10 people and may take the form of skin reactions (itching, skin rash, dry skin, contact dermatitis).
Discontinue the use of arnica gel if you find these side effects are troubling you. If they persist, become serious or are worrying to you, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, talk to a doctor, pharmacist or healthcare practitioner.
If Atrogel® Arnica gel is swallowed by mistake contact your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare practitioner immediately.
1. I thought that arnica was only for use in bruises or when bruising occurs?
Arnica has a long history of use as a bruise treatment and this has been its most popular use in the past, when taken in the form of homeopathic arnica tablets. In the form of a gel obtained from freshly harvested herbs, as with Atrogel®, arnica has a traditional use for the relief of pain.
2. So can I use Atrogel® Arnica gel for bruises?
Yes, arnica herb can also be used externally as a treatment for bruises. Atrogel® contains extracts of freshly picked arnica flowers, is licensed as a herbal remedy for bruising, as well as the relief of pain in conditions giving rise to pain and stiffness in muscles and the tissue around joints.
3. What is the difference between Arnica gel and homeopathic Arnica?
Arnica gel is a herbal product for use topically or externally. This is distinct to arnica taken as small pills or tincture, as a homeopathic remedy, used by some people for the treatment or prevention of bruising. Like other similar remedies, homeopathic arnica is made in a special way which leads it to be diluted successively – the final result is that it behaves in a different way from the original material it started from.
4. How long can I use Arnica gel for?
There is no restriction to the use of Atrogel® Arnica gel externally – you can use it as long as you need pain relief.
5. Can I use Arnica gel if I’m taking painkillers internally?
Yes, Atrogel® Arnica gel may be used alongside all other painkilling medication.
6. Can I use Arnica gel on my children?
Yes, Atrogel® Arnica gel may be used on children of any age.
7. Can I use it during pregnancy?
Do not use if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
8. I am asthmatic and can’t use some of the painkillers that most people can have, not even the rub-on gels. Can I use Atrogel® Arnica Gel?
Yes, there is no reason for asthmatics not to use Atrogel® Arnica Gel, which is a gel that is applied topically to painful areas.
9. I am already on a lot of painkillers, but sometimes my joints are really hurting me, especially when I’m in bed – can I use Atrogel® alongside my other painkillers?
Atrogel® Arnica Gel can be used alongside any other painkilling medication. This makes it very useful for people who cannot take more of the medication they are on. Rub it gently on to painful areas before bed and reapply if waking in the night with pain.
10. I have a stomach ulcer. Can I use Atrogel® Arnica Gel? My doctor says there are lots of painkillers I can’t use.
Atrogel® Arnica Gel is a topical application and is not contraindicated with any digestive ulcers, including stomach ulcers.

“I purchased Arnica Gel for my horse who had sustained injuries from being kicked by another horse. My vet advised Arnica and within 2 days of using it the swelling was half the size it had been. I would recommend it be an essential part of the equine first aid box. My husband picks up kicks and bruisings while training in TaeKwonDo and playing squash and he uses Arnica Gel on them too.”

“I have really have 2 answers to this question. The Arnica Gel is good as far as the UK product goes but it is excellent as far as A. Vogel Arnica from The Netherlands. Why? The UK product leaves a very sticky residue on my skin as soon as I start rubbing it in which looks quite unsightly when it dries. The Dutch product on the other hand is very smooth and leaves absolutely no residue. I wonder why this is, when it is supposed to be the very same product???”
Response from A.Vogel: It was recognised that the 'original' formulation of Atrogel does indeed leave a slight sticky residue. A new formulation - in the way in which the gel is made - has since been launched, in The Netherlands; as from the middle of 2015 the new formulation will be the one also sold in the UK. Please call our Helpline on 0845 608 5858 should you wish more information on this.
