Deep Heat Rub is a fast-acting, dual-action topical medication designed to provide effective relief from muscular aches, pains, and stiffness. By utilizing a unique "heat therapy" mechanism, it generates a penetrating warmth that increases local blood circulation to the affected area, helping to relax tight muscles and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

Manufacturer: Mentholatum Company Ltd
Active Ingredients: Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, Eucalyptus Oil, and Turpentine Oil
Pack Size: 35g Tube

Deep Heat Rub is indicated for the symptomatic relief of muscular pains and stiffness, including rheumatic pain, backache, sciatica, fibrositis, sprains, and chilblains. It is also an excellent choice for athletes to use as a "pre-workout" rub to warm up cold or stiff muscles before physical activity, helping to prevent strains and improve flexibility.
For external use only. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, or sensitive skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin or any other Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), as Methyl Salicylate is a salicylate derivative. If a severe skin rash or blistering occurs, wash the area with cool water and discontinue use immediately.
Apply a thin layer of Deep Heat Rub to the affected area and massage gently into the skin until the cream vanishes. Use 2 to 3 times daily or as needed. You will feel a warming sensation shortly after application, which indicates the medication is working.
Note: Always wash your hands thoroughly immediately after application to avoid accidental contact with your eyes or face. Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages or heating pads, as this can cause severe skin irritation or burns.
The most common side effects are localized skin redness, a tingling sensation, or a feeling of intense heat, which are usually temporary. Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or an allergic contact dermatitis. If you experience difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, seek medical attention immediately.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the tube crimp.
Q: Can I use Deep Heat for a fresh injury?
A: For a very recent injury (first 24-48 hours) with swelling, "cold therapy" (ice) is usually better. Deep Heat is most effective for "chronic" pain, stiffness, or warming up muscles.
Q: Is Deep Heat safe during pregnancy?
A: You should consult our pharmacist or your doctor before use. Salicylates can be absorbed through the skin, so caution is advised during the later stages of pregnancy.
Q: Can I use this on my 5-year-old child?
A: No. Deep Heat is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age due to the risk of skin sensitivity and the salicylate content.
Q: Does it have a strong smell?
A: Yes. Deep Heat has a classic, strong medicinal menthol scent which is part of its active aromatic profile.
Q: Do I need a prescription?
A: No. It is available over the counter at Sanlive Pharmacy for immediate pain relief.
