SLOANS KILLS PAIN LINIMENT 71 ML by PIRAMAL ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Sloan's Liniment is a potent topical analgesic designed to provide targeted relief from various muscle and joint discomforts.

Composition

Sloan's Liniment contains active ingredients such as Capsaicin Extract (from Oleoresin Capsicum), Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, Eucalyptus Oil, and Turpentine Oil. Capsaicin acts as a counter-irritant, reducing pain signals, while other ingredients contribute to analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Uses

This liniment is primarily used for the temporary relief of muscle aches, joint pain, and swelling. It is effective in treating sprains, strains, sports-related injuries, neck pain, knee pain, lower back pain, arthritis, bruising, and general backaches. Some formulations may also be used for nerve pain (neuralgia) in specific conditions.

Dosage and Administration

Gently massage Sloan's Liniment into the skin of the affected area 2 to 3 times daily, or not more than 3 to 4 times daily. Allow the medicine to dry for at least 10 minutes before covering with clothes or gloves. Wash hands immediately after use unless hands are part of the treated area. Do not rub vigorously.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include a sensation of warmth, rash, burning, itching, swelling, or stinging at the application site. If severe burning, pain, swelling, or blistering occurs, wash the area with soap and cool water and seek medical attention.

Precautions

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to open wounds, damaged, irritated, or sensitive skin, or bandage tightly. If pain persists for more than 7 days, if the condition worsens, or if excessive redness or skin irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Keep out of reach of children. Not recommended for children under 2 years of age without consulting a doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C (86°F) in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from open flame as it is combustible.

What is Sloan's Kills Pain Liniment used for?

Sloan's Kills Pain Liniment is used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. This includes pain associated with strains, sprains, arthritis, bruises, backaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain. It can also be used to alleviate nerve pain (neuralgia) in individuals who have had herpes zoster, or "shingles."

How does Sloan's Kills Pain Liniment work?

The liniment works through a combination of active ingredients that provide analgesic and counter-irritant effects. Key ingredients like Capsaicin extract create a warming sensation by activating nerve cells, which over time helps reduce "substance P," a chemical pain messenger in the body. Other ingredients such as Methyl Salicylate (from Oil Gaultheria or wintergreen oil), Menthol, Eucalyptus Oil, and Gandha Biroja Tailam (frankincense oil) also contribute to pain relief, reduce inflammation, and enhance blood circulation to the affected area, promoting faster healing and soothing discomfort.

How should I apply Sloan's Kills Pain Liniment?

Apply the liniment to the affected area not more than 3 to 4 times daily. You can use your fingers, a soft flannel cloth, or absorbent cotton to pat it on. Do not rub the liniment into the skin and do not bandage the treated area. Allow at least 10 minutes for the medicine to dry before covering the treated area with clothes or gloves. Always wash your hands immediately after applying the liniment, unless your hands are the treated area. If the warmth becomes too uncomfortable, you can wash it off with soap and water or dilute it with equal parts of mineral oil before the next application.

What are the possible side effects of Sloan's Kills Pain Liniment?

While generally well-tolerated for external use, possible side effects can include skin irritation. In some cases, severe burning, pain, swelling, or blistering of the skin where the medicine was applied may occur. If these severe reactions happen, seek medical attention immediately.
