Pain sprays

Unfortunately, there is no person in the world who has never experienced pain. It does not matter whether it was severe pain or a slight aching discomfort. In most cases, to ease the condition, many take pills, not knowing that sometimes it is much more convenient to use a pain spray - this is a product that can be applied directly to the painful area. The active substance of the spray is sprayed, covering the painful area and being absorbed into the tissue. Often, in addition to the pain-relieving effect, such drugs have other effects: for example, they can act as an antiseptic or anti-inflammatory agent.

Indications for the use of pain sprays

Pain sprays can become an important component of general treatment for many diseases. In addition, this form of the drug is very convenient to use, because the spray can send the medicine even to hard-to-reach places, right to the source of the inflammatory process. For example, medicinal drugs in the form of a pain spray can be prescribed in the following situations:

• - for coughing and sore throat (tonsillitis, acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, laryngitis, etc.);
• - for pain inside the joints and in the back (arthritis, arthrosis, lumbago, sciatica, neuritis, etc.);
• - for headaches (chronic fatigue, migraine);
• - for dental diseases;
• - in case of injuries (soft tissue contusions, dislocations, fractures, etc.).

Pain sprays may contain anesthetic substances or cooling and distracting components, which can also significantly relieve pain.
