Description

Penetrene A Liniment is a green liquid with a characteristic smell of menthol and acetone. Each 100ml contains acetone 25.0g, menthol 1.14g, sassafras oil 0.26g, and aniseed oil 0.37g in an alcoholic base. The colouring helps identify the area of treatment.

Mode of Action

The combination of ingredients acts as a rubefacient, stimulating blood circulation to muscles, ligaments, and tendons underlying the area of application. A mild antiseptic and analgesic effect is also achieved. The acetone assists penetration of the skin to achieve action at the site of sprains and strains. Massage reduces the development of unwanted adhesions at these injury sites, while the improved blood flow promotes normal healing processes and helps remove inflammatory debris.

Combined with rest, this enhances natural repair and reduces internal scarring without the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
