Like all medications, Deep Heat cream may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. People with sensitive skin, as well as those who use Deep Heat Rub in hot weather or after a hot bath, may be more prone to certain side effects. These can include temporary redness of the skin, a burning sensation, rashes, or even skin burns or blisters in more severe cases. If you develop any of these symptoms, especially if they are severe or persistent, you should stop using Deep Heat Rub and seek medical advice. Refer to the Patient Information Leaflet for further details.

Deep Heat Heat Rub offers a dual-action approach to pain management, delivering both pain relief and soothing heat directly to the source of discomfort. It contains methyl salicylate, a drug with aspirin-like properties, which provides effective pain relief while the warming components increase blood flow for additional soothing relief. This cream is recommended for alleviating muscular pain and stiffness, including conditions like rheumatic pain, back pain, sciatica, fibrositis, sprains, bruises, and chilblains. Deep Heat Heat Rub can be used both before and after exercise to help manage pain and stiffness.
