Product introduction

Melaret Cream is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be massaged into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. In case of accidental contact, you should rinse it thoroughly with plenty of water.

It is usually safe with little or no side effects. However, it may cause a burning sensation and skin irritation at the site of application. They are usually temporary and resolve with time. If they do not get better with time or worsen, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms.

Before using the medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines for the same disease or other diseases. To make sure the medicine is safe, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using the medicine.

How Melaret Cream works

Melaret Cream is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for inflammation (pain and swelling).

Quick tips

  • Apply Melaret Cream only to clean, intact skin, avoiding cuts, rashes, or broken areas to reduce irritation or unintended absorption of the medicine.
  • Do not cover with tight bandages or heat pads after applying this medicine.
  • Wash hands immediately after application, unless treating the hands, to prevent accidental contact with eyes or mouth.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of ulcers, kidney issues, or heart disease, as even topical NSAIDs can pose risks with prolonged use.
  • Avoid using other NSAID topical medicines or oral anti-inflammatory drugs simultaneously, unless prescribed, to prevent cumulative effects.
  • Inform your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney or liver problems.
  • It can cause serious complications like stomach bleeding and kidney problems if taken for a long time.
  • Melaret Cream can raise your risk of blood clots, heart attack, or a stroke.

Frequently asked questions

Melaret Cream is used to treat mild to moderate pain associated with muscles or joints.
Yes, Melaret Cream is a pain reliever. Melaret Cream when applied directly to the affected area may provide targeted relief.
Unlike oral pain medications, Melaret Cream is applied topically and absorbs minimally into the bloodstream, significantly reducing the risk of systemic side effects typically seen with oral NSAIDs (like stomach irritation or kidney stress). However, localized skin reactions may occur.
Topical NSAIDs such as Melaret Cream may cause skin-related side effects such as redness, itching, or irritation at the application site. Some users may experience dry or flaky skin and increased sensitivity to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn. It is essential to monitor for these reactions and discontinue use if severe irritation occurs.
You should follow your doctor's instructions regarding the amount of Melaret Cream to apply. Gently massage the prescribed amount into the affected area until fully absorbed. Apply as directed, typically once or twice daily. Wash your hands before and after application, and avoid contact with your eyes or mucous membranes.
