## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How does Biofreeze work?

Biofreeze uses a process known as [cold therapy](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/aches-and-pain/pain/pain-relief-heat-pack-vs-ice-pack-335) (or cryotherapy) to relieve pain. When applied to the skin, menthol's active ingredient activates cold receptors, creating a cooling sensation that inhibits pain signals sent to the brain. This is known as "gate control theory", which decreases the brain's perception of pain without systemic medication.

While heat treatments increase blood levels, cold minimises inflammation and swelling, which is beneficial for overworked muscles or [sprains](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/aches-and-pain/muscles-joints/sprains-how-to-manage).

### When is Biofreeze most effective?

Biofreeze spray is handy in the following situations:

- After heavy exercise or sports
- For the management of chronic pain such as [osteoarthritis](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/condition/aches-and-pain/pain/osteoarthritis-causes-risk-factors-and-treatment-options-216)
- During rehabilitation after physio or chiropractic care
- Where heat is inappropriate, such as acute injuries
- For pain relief on the go, because of spray form

### Why is spray form so helpful?

The 118 ml spray bottle is handy for pinpoint use, especially on stubborn areas like the upper back, shoulders, or lower back. The spray can be used in the inverted position, allowing for full body coverage without assistance from another individual. This is ideal for individuals with limited mobility or who struggle to apply gels or creams to specific body areas.

The hands-free product also reduces the risk of getting the product on your hands or spreading it accidentally to sensitive areas like the eyes.

### Is Biofreeze ever used in combination with other treatments?

Yes, Biofreeze is used regularly with:

- Physiotherapy or massage therapy
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- [Oral analgesics](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/aches-and-pain/pain/strongest-over-the-counter-pain-relief) or [anti-inflammatory](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/treatment/aches-and-pain/pain/non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory-drugs-nsaids-what-you-need-to-know) drugs (if directed by a doctor)

But it should not be used in combination with other [topical solutions](https://www.healthwords.ai/explore/article/skin-and-external-care/skincare-scalp/differences-between-creams-ointments-and-gels-what-are-they), such as [heat rubs](https://www.healthwords.ai/shop/products/deep-heat-max-strength-35g), creams or gels, lest it causes skin irritation or interaction.

### What is Biofreeze containing that contributes to recovery?

Biofreeze contains, apart from menthol, a range of plant and botanical ingredients that can potentially soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. These are:

- Arnica Montana, traditionally used to stop bruising and swelling
- Calendula and Chamomile are known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties
- Ilex Paraguariensis (a South American holly shrub), which is an antioxidant
- Juniper Berry and White Tea extracts provide additional protection for skin health

These create a product which is gentle to the skin but very effective in relief.

### Who must not use Biofreeze?

Do not use Biofreeze if you:

- Have broken or impaired skin on the area of application
- Have known sensitivities to menthol or any ingredients listed
- Are you using other topical preparations in the same area
- Are under 12 years of age unless on the advice of a doctor

People with very sensitive skin or skin conditions should consult a pharmacist or GP before use.

### Can I use Biofreeze if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it is advisable to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. While most ingredients are safe, skin absorption and impact on the baby have not been extensively studied in all cases.

### How long does it last, and how quickly does it work?

The majority of individuals start to notice relief within minutes of using Biofreeze. The cooling sensation usually lasts several hours, based on the spot and level of discomfort. Repeat use is allowed up to 3–4 times a day, but consistent repeating use is to be consulted with your local healthcare provider.

### Is Biofreeze appropriate for sports and exercise?

Yes – Biofreeze is commonly applied by athletes and sports professionals. Biofreeze may be applied:

- Before exercise to warm up the muscles
- After exercise, to avoid soreness and inflammation
- As a regular part of daily recovery

Because it's non-greasy and absorbs rapidly, it won't interfere with clothing or sportswear.

## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How does Phynova treat muscle and joint pain?

Phynova Joint and Muscle Pain Relief capsules contain a natural herbal extract of the Sigesbeckia orientalis plant, which has been traditionally used to relieve muscle and joint pain. The herbal extract helps block inflammation and promotes the body's natural healing processes. It is especially indicated for backache, minor sports injuries, and rheumatic pain. As natural treatments act slowly, it is essential to take Phynova daily for approximately a month before noticing significant improvements. The supplement works by enhancing comfort and mobility by easing stiffness and pain, but it is not a magic pill like some painkillers. Use in conjunction with gentle exercise and proper posture for best results.

### Who shouldn't use Phynova Joint and Muscle Pain Relief?

Phynova tablets are not suitable for use by anyone under 18 years old. It is also not suitable for pregnant or lactating women because there is no information available on safety during these times. You must not use this product if you are allergic to daisies, marigolds, and other members of the Asteraceae family, as the product includes related plant herbal extracts. If you have any underlying medical conditions or other medications, take advice from your physician or pharmacist before taking Phynova to avoid drug interactions or allergic reactions. This is especially necessary if you are an individual with allergies or have experienced them in the past.

### How do I take Phynova tablets to get the best results?

Swallow one tablet in the morning and once in the evening, twice daily, with water or drink of choice. Administer the tablets at the same time each day, as consistency is key. Use the complete course, typically one month, as the herbal extract takes effect slowly, and the full effect may take weeks. Some people may have minor effects within two weeks, but peak effects are often after a course has been completed. If you are not feeling better after one month, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice. Do not take more than the dose recommended.

### Are there any side effects or safety concerns with Phynola?

Phynova is tolerated well by most individuals, but like all herbal supplements, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Side effects are rashes or skin irritation, and these are more likely to happen if you know you are allergic to other plants of a similar type, e.g., daisies or marigolds. If you experience any strange symptoms such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop taking the tablets and seek your doctor's advice immediately. As the product is composed of herbal extracts, it is essential to follow the dosage instructions carefully to avoid stomach discomfort or any other minor side effects. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor at all times.

### Can Phynova tablets be combined with other painkillers?

It's best to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medications before starting Phynova. Although it is a natural product, it can sometimes interact with other medications, particularly those that affect inflammation or the immune system. Phynova is usually taken in addition to usual painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, but do consult first. Your doctor can tell you whether taking the two together is safe and suitable for your individual condition. Avoid using more than one herbal product at a time without consulting a healthcare professional, as it may increase side effects or reduce efficacy.

### How do I store Phynova?

Store Phynova tablets in a cool, dry place below 25°C and tightly close the bottle to keep it away from light and moisture. Store the tablets out of the reach and sight of children at all times to prevent accidental taking. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date marked on the packaging, as efficacy can be diminished and safety cannot be guaranteed. Dispose of any leftover tablets upon completion of your course through a pharmacy by returning them for safe disposal rather than placing them in domestic rubbish. Proper storage preserves the quality of tablets and guarantees the drug functions as intended.

## Pharmacist FAQs Answered

### How do I use O.R.S Hydration Tablets?

To use these tablets, dissolve the specified number in water as directed. For example, many instructions say to dissolve 2 tablets in 200 mL of drinking water (about 7 oz). Sip the solution slowly to rehydrate. In practice, adults (and older children) can drink up to about 2 litres (8½ cups) of the prepared solution per day if needed. Always mix exactly as directed – too much or too little water can upset the balance of salts. If you’re unsure, follow the product instructions or ask a pharmacist for guidance.

### Are O.R.S Hydration Tablets safe for children and pregnant women?

O.R.S tablets are generally family-safe. The standard formula is suitable for children ages 3 and up, and a paediatrics-friendly version is also available. For very young children, a doctor will advise on the proper dose – one leaflet, for example, says to dissolve 2 tablets in 200 mL of water and give it slowly to a sick child. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can usually use these low-sugar electrolyte tablets safely when needed. As with any medicine or supplement, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider during pregnancy or if you have any health concerns (e.g. high blood pressure).

### How do O.R.S Hydration Tablets compare to sports drinks?

O.R.S tablets are an oral rehydration solution (ORS) designed to replace fluids and salts quickly. Unlike most sports drinks, which focus on high sugar content for quick energy, ORS formulas have higher sodium and potassium with little or no added sugar. In fact, studies show that during exercise, there’s no difference in fluid retention whether people use a sports drink or an ORS. Essentially, O.R.S tablets replenish electrolytes more efficiently, helping water absorb better into your body. Think of sports drinks as “energy + electrolytes” and ORS tablets as pure “water + electrolytes”; both hydrate you, but ORS minimises extra sugar.

### Can I take O.R.S Hydration Tablets daily or for long-term hydration?

These tablets are meant for occasional rehydration, not for daily use when you’re not dehydrated. If you drink enough water and eat a balanced diet, you usually don’t need an ORS every day. Experts note there’s “no reason to rely on ORS if you do not need it”. Using them unnecessarily can lead to excessive salt intake. Health sources warn that using ORS without need can lead to salt toxicity (hypernatremia). In short, use them when you really need to rehydrate – for example, after heavy sweating, illness or heat exposure – and otherwise stick to regular fluids.

### Are O.R.S Hydration Tablets suitable for travel, exercise, and hot weather?

O.R.S tablets are very handy for travel and exercise when the risk of dehydration is higher. They follow WHO formulas to replace fluids and electrolytes lost (for example, from traveller's diarrhoea or intense sweating). Travellers often carry plain water, but adding an ORS tablet ensures fast electrolyte replenishment without extra sugar. For sports and hot weather, the tablets help maintain hydration and can prevent cramps. Studies have shown that ORS solutions are as effective as sports drinks for keeping you hydrated during exercise. Simply dissolve a tablet in water and sip regularly during your trip or workout to stay optimally hydrated.

### What side effects should I be aware of when using O.R.S Hydration Tablets?

When used correctly, side effects are rare. However, if the mix is too concentrated (too salty), you might feel nausea or even vomit. Overuse or using ORS when not needed can cause hypernatremia (high blood salt). Certain people should be cautious: those with kidney problems, heart failure, high blood pressure or diabetes should talk to a doctor first. In general, follow mixing directions carefully and stop using the tablets if you notice any adverse symptoms. If in doubt, seek medical advice for guidance on safe use.
