FAQ

While both products are generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and warnings:

Can I use Tiger Balm and Salonpas together?

Avoid using Salonpas products in conjunction with other external analgesics, such as patches, gels, or creams. Combining these products can increase the risk of skin irritation or adverse reactions, as well as interfere with the effectiveness of each treatment. For optimal safety and results, it's best to use Salonpas products alone and consult with a healthcare professional if you have questions about your pain management regimen.

Are Salonpas patches anti-inflammatory?

Salonpas Pain Relief Patches utilize a Transdermal Drug Delivery System (TDDS) to provide targeted relief. The patch features an ultra-thin, highly stretchable cloth infused with anti-inflammatory medication. When applied directly to the skin, the patch allows the anti-inflammatory medicine to penetrate effectively.

When should you not use Salonpas?

If you have a known allergy to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), you should not use Salonpas. Salonpas also should not be applied to the face, areas with rashes, or on wounds and damaged skin. Avoid using it in conjunction with a heating pad or during sweating, such as after exercising or in hot conditions, as this can affect absorption and potentially lead to irritation.
