Kowa Vantelin Kowa Liquid Alpha

Features

Vantelin Kowa Liquid Alpha is a localized penetrating medication that contains triple analgesic ingredients (indomethacin, l-menthol, and arnica tincture) that relieve muscle and joint pain.
When you apply this medication to painful areas such as the shoulders, lower back, elbows, knees, hands, and feet, the effective ingredients will penetrate the painful area one after another, along with the pleasant cooling sensation of menthol, immediately relieving the pain from the affected area.
This liquid product dries quickly and is not sticky, making it easy to use on a variety of areas, from large areas such as the shoulders and lower back to difficult-to-reach areas such as hairy areas.
It also comes in a sponge container that can be applied directly to the painful area, making it easy to use without getting your hands dirty.
