• Do not apply Reflex on very large areas of skin, or with tight bandages, or if you are going to exercise or apply heat to the area where it is used. If you cover the area where Reflex has been used, do so in such a way that the garment covering the treated area is slightly loose.

The active ingredients per gram of Reflex gel are: 100 mg methyl salicylate, 60 mg turpentine, 30 mg camphor and 30 mg menthol. The other excipients are: isopropyl alcohol, ethanol 96%, propylene glycol (E-1520), hydroxypropyl cellulose (E-463) and benzyl alcohol (E-1519).

Simultaneous application with other medicinal products for skin use that also contain analgesics and rubefacients is not recommended, as this may lead to a potentiation of the adverse effects of both medicinal products. This medicine contains methyl salicylate, which may interact with other keratolytic agents, enhancing their effect.

You should consult a doctor if you get worse or if you do not improve after 7 days of treatment.
