FAQs
What is Melaret Cream used for?
Melaret Cream is used to treat mild to moderate pain associated with muscles or joints.
Is Melaret Cream a pain reliever?
Yes, Melaret Cream is a pain reliever. Melaret Cream when applied directly to the affected area may provide targeted relief.
Does Melaret Cream have the same side effects as oral painkillers?
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.
Are there any side effects associated with Melaret Cream?
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.
How should Melaret Cream be applied?
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.
