Medizinische Arnika Salbe Zur Anwendung Bei Erwachsenen Und Heranwachsenden Ab 12 Jahren (Arnica Flower Tincture (1:10) Extracting Solvent: Ethanol 70 % (V/V))

The tincture contains sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids and essential oils that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and modulate cytokine activity. By dampening these inflammatory pathways, it decreases vascular permeability and leukocyte infiltration, which leads to reduced swelling, redness and pain at the site of application.

The amount to apply is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer is spread over the affected area 2–3 times daily, but exact frequency and quantity should follow the individual’s treatment plan as directed by their clinician.

Safety data for topical arnica in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if a physician determines that the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding are advised to consult their healthcare provider before use.

Compared with non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory creams, arnica offers a herbal alternative that targets inflammation through prostaglandin inhibition without the systemic exposure associated with oral NSAIDs. It is generally well tolerated, but unlike some synthetic agents, it may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Choice depends on patient preference, tolerance and clinical judgment.

The ointment should be stored at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat sources. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain product stability throughout its shelf life.

Apply a thin, even layer of the ointment to clean, dry, intact skin over the affected area. Gently massage until fully absorbed. The product is for external use only and should not be covered with occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare professional. Frequency of application follows the prescriber’s instructions.

Although rare, serious adverse reactions can include allergic dermatitis, contact urticaria and systemic hypersensitivity such as anaphylaxis. These reactions require immediate medical attention. Users should discontinue the product at the first sign of severe skin irritation or systemic symptoms and seek professional care promptly.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to Arnica montana or other members of the Asteraceae family should not use the product. It is also contraindicated on broken, ulcerated or infected skin, and should be avoided in children under 12 years of age unless specifically prescribed. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a physician before use.
