How It Works

Bengay Cream works through its active ingredients, typically methyl salicylate and menthol. These components create a counterirritant effect, stimulating nerve endings to distract from pain, improving local blood circulation, and providing a soothing warming or cooling sensation that helps relieve muscle and joint discomfort.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of Bengay Cream to the affected area, gently massaging until fully absorbed. Use 3-4 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Do not apply to broken or damaged skin.

Duration of Action

The pain-relieving effects of Bengay Cream typically begin within 10-15 minutes of application. The cooling or warming sensation can last for 1-2 hours. Pain relief may continue for several hours after initial application, providing temporary comfort.

Side Effects

Some users may experience skin irritation, redness, or a mild burning sensation. Rare but serious side effects can include allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if severe reactions occur or if pain persists.

Warnings

Avoid using on open wounds, broken skin, or sensitive areas. Do not use with heating pads or tight bandages. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use on children under 12 without medical advice. Discontinue use if skin irritation develops.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using Bengay Cream. While topical use is generally considered safe, individual medical advice is crucial.
