● Features
Vantelin Kowa Liquid α is a topical penetrating medicine that contains triple analgesic ingredients (indomethacin, l-menthol, arnica tincture) to relieve muscle and joint pain.
When this medicine is applied to painful areas such as shoulders, lower back, elbows, knees, hands, and feet, the effective ingredients penetrate one after another into the painful area along with a pleasant cooling sensation of menthol, directly relieving the pain from the affected area.
This medicine dries quickly with little stickiness and is a liquid formulation that is easy to use on various areas, from wide areas like shoulders and lower back to hairy areas that are difficult to apply.
It also uses a sponge container that can be applied directly to the painful area, allowing easy use without dirtying your hands.
