How do I use my combination topical pain cream?
Topical pain creams are for EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
- Be sure to wash your hands before applying the product (some people prefer to wear a rubber/vinyl/latex glove to put the cream on)
- Remove the cap from the pump (or take the lid off of the jar)
- Pump out (or scoop out) the prescribed volume onto the affected area or onto hand
- Rub the cream into the affected area gently until the cream is no longer visible. Continue to rub gently for an additional 60 seconds as this will allow the drug to penetrate deeper into the area.
- Do NOT apply a lot of pressure as this can increase pain in the area.
- Replace the cap/lid.
- Wash hands very well after applying.
- Avoid getting the application site wet for at least 1 hour after application.
- You do NOT need to apply an occlusive dressing/bandage over the applied area.
