Deep Heat Max Strength – 35g

Description

Deep Heat Max Strength – 35g

Deep Heat Max Strength is a topical cream used to relieve muscular aches, pains, and stiffness. It is suitable for sore muscles, tension, and minor joint discomfort, providing fast-acting, targeted warming relief.

⸻

How It Works

Deep Heat Max Strength contains three active ingredients — methyl nicotinate, menthol, and eucalyptus oil — that work together to stimulate blood flow and create a warming, soothing sensation in the affected area. This increased circulation helps to ease muscle tension and reduce the feeling of pain and stiffness in the skin and underlying tissues.

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 12 years and over: apply a small amount of cream to the affected area and gently massage in. This can be repeated up to 3 times daily. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or sensitive skin, and avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and mouth. Do not use with bandages or tight dressings, and wash hands thoroughly after use. Deep Heat Max Strength is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
