What is Algesal (Dietilamin Salisilat) used for?

Algesal Ointment (Dietilamin Salisilat) is a topical anti-inflammatory medication used to treat muscle or joint pain. It operates by preventing the action of enzymes released in response to injury that cause the pain, swelling, and irritation associated with these conditions. The medication is commonly used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, sprains, strains, backaches, or nerve pain. Your doctor may also prescribe it to be used for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Algesal (Dietilamin Salisilat)?

Algesal Ointment (Dietilamin Salisilat) should be used according to the instructions of your doctor and those included with the packaging to get the safest and best results from treatment. The medication may be applied up to three times each day as needed, but the best instructions will be determined by your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. Before each application you are suggested to rinse and dry the affected area to remove any dirt or loose skin. Apply a small amount of medication to the affected area, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the area uncovered allowing any excess ointment to evaporate. Thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the medication from contacting other areas not being treated or the mucous membranes. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct administration.
