Radiculitis, osteoarthritis, bruises and injuries provoke inflammatory processes and lead to pain in the neck, lower back and other affected areas. To quickly relieve unpleasant symptoms, it is most convenient to use ointment. As a rule, the products contain only one active ingredient, but the composition of the Deep Relief gel includes 2 components at once. Thanks to this, the medicine relieves pain within the first minutes after use.

Ointment "Deep Relief": description, principle of action
The medicine is a gel that is used exclusively externally. Its active ingredients are ibuprofen (contained in an amount of 50 mg per 1 g) and levomenthol (its share is 30 mg per 1 g). Propylene glycol, water, carbomer, medical alcohol and others are used as auxiliary components.
The product is a transparent gel of viscous consistency with a characteristic menthol aroma. Packaging – metal tubes of different weights (from 15 to 100 g).
"Deep Relief" is used as an anesthetic ointment. Belongs to the category of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal medications. It acts directly on the affected area, inhibits the inflammatory process and effectively relieves pain. When treating a joint, it restores the ability to move normally and eliminates the unpleasant feeling of stiffness.
Pharmacodynamics
Methyl salicylate penetrates the skin and has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Purified turpentine, when applied topically, causes a reflex increase in blood flow, which helps accelerate the absorption of active components. Eucalyptus oil has an irritating effect when applied topically. Thus, Deep Hit has a local irritating and analgesic effect. The combination of components of the drug Deep Hit stimulates local blood circulation in the tissues, causing a feeling of warming at the site of application of the cream. The action of the drug leads to relief of pain in muscles and joints.
Description of the drug
Deep Hit is a thick transparent ointment with a slightly yellowish tint and a pleasant aroma of essential oils. Thanks to the balanced auxiliary composition, the active ingredients are quickly absorbed by the skin. The therapeutic effect appears after a few minutes and lasts for 3-5 hours.
The drug does not contain fatty components and does not leave marks on clothes and bedding. The use of ointment is practiced in traumatology, rheumatology, orthopedics, and neurology.
What does Deep Relief help with:
- painful conditions that arise against the background of relapses of inflammatory pathologies;
- discomfort accompanying severe degenerative diseases;
- various joint injuries, including sprained ligaments or their complete separation from the bone base.
The components of the ointment have a diverse effect on the human body. Improvement in well-being occurs not only due to the elimination of pain, but also due to the acceleration of blood circulation. Thanks to this ability, Deep Hit is used in the treatment of traumatic injuries that require rapid regeneration.
The ointment is used not only for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases, but also for preventive purposes. After applying the product, the muscles can withstand the most intense physical activity much easier. In this way, many athletes prevent injuries during training.
Clinical and pharmacological group
Deep Hit is included in the clinical and pharmacological group of combined anti-inflammatory drugs. The ointment also refers to external agents for the symptomatic treatment of joint and muscle pathologies.
pharmachologic effect
The therapeutic properties of Deep Hip ointment are based on the pharmacological activity of its main components. One of them, methyl salicylate, has a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
It inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which stimulates the production of prostaglandins, bradykinins, and leukotrienes. It is these mediators that are responsible for the appearance of painful symptoms of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
With a decrease in the quantitative content of prostaglandins in the blood, the patient’s well-being improves significantly:
- the intensity of pain decreases;
- inflammatory swelling disappears, compressing blood vessels and sensitive nerve endings;
- Extensive hematomas and pinpoint hemorrhages resolve.
The drug also contains turpentine and eucalyptus essential oil. Upon contact with the dermis, they irritate receptors located in the subcutaneous tissue. This stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin, distracting the person from pain and other uncomfortable sensations.
Turpentine and eucalyptus oil have a warming, antiseptic and disinfectant effect. Levomenthol exhibits pronounced local irritation and weak antimicrobial activity.
Due to the flow of blood saturated with nutrients and oxygen, metabolism accelerates. Tissues damaged as a result of an inflammatory or destructive-degenerative process begin to recover.
Release form and composition
Deep Hip is produced by the English pharmaceutical company Mentholatum. It is packaged in sealed aluminum tubes of 15.0 g, 35.0 g, 67.0 g, 100.0 g. Each of them is placed in a cardboard box along with instructions for use.
The active composition of the drug is represented by methyl salicylate, gum turpentine, levomenthol, eucalyptus oil. The ointment base is formed from the following auxiliary ingredients:
- stearic acid;
- trolamine;
- paraffin;
- propylene glycol;
- sodium carmellose;
- lanolin;
- distilled water.
Lanolin and paraffin form a film on the surface of the epidermis that protects it from infection. This is especially true for ligament or muscle injuries accompanied by skin damage. Propylene glycol and trolamine ensure maximum transepidermal absorption of active substances.
Thanks to additional ingredients, Deep Hit has a prolonged therapeutic effect.
Storage conditions and periods
Deep Hit is intended for storage in dark places inaccessible to small children. Temperature range: 15-25°C. The shelf life of the drug is 36 months. The manufacturer recommends using it after opening the tube for six months. If the ointment separates or a foreign odor appears, it cannot be used for treatment.

After use, wash your hands thoroughly. After 2 weeks of using the drug, you should consult your doctor.
Instructions for use
The instructions for use of Deep Hit recommend that you coordinate its use with your doctor.
The drug provides only symptomatic therapy. Its ingredients are not able to eliminate the cause of the development of inflammatory pathologies. But if not properly treated, they can negatively affect your health. It is necessary to consult a doctor about doses, frequency of application and duration of the therapeutic course.
Indications and contraindications
The main indication for use of Deep Hit is muscle pain of any location. The ointment is used to eliminate discomfort regardless of its origin. It is prescribed for myalgia of inflammatory etiology or caused by pinched nerve roots.
Also, with the help of the drug it is possible to get rid of the most severe rheumatic pains. Their appearance is a characteristic symptom of rheumatic fever, gout attack, rheumatoid and reactive arthritis.
Deep Hit is used to improve the well-being of patients with the following pathologies:
- osteochondrosis;

Directions for use and doses
Deep Hit is evenly distributed over the affected area or area of pain three times a day.
The most optimal single dose for patients over 12 years of age is about 4 cm of the product extracted from the tube. It also depends on the size of the affected muscle tissue or joints.

It is strictly prohibited to use it under occlusive dressings.
The duration of the therapeutic course is 10-14 days. If during this period your health improves slightly, you should consult a doctor to clarify the diagnosis.
Side effects and special instructions
The instructions for use of Deep Hit provide a detailed description of the side effects of the ointment. If the dosage regimen is violated or prolonged use, a local allergic reaction develops. Clinically, it manifests itself in the formation of inflammatory swelling and rashes, redness and irritation of the skin. Itching, burning, and painful sensations of varying intensity occur. In rare cases, systemic side effects are observed - neurological and dyspeptic disorders.
In addition to Deep Hit, other external agents are often included in the treatment regimen. The interval between their applications should be at least 20 minutes. Otherwise, there is a risk of chemical interaction and the likelihood of developing allergies increases.

Also, bandages made of airtight fabrics should not be placed on the skin. If the therapeutic effect is weak, the dosage should not be increased. As the amount increases, the drug will not become stronger. In addition, this can cause allergies and other side effects.
DIP HIT (cream)
this is indeed a reasonable decision, in my opinion, because when buying a cream there is no need to open the box and fish out instructions from there.
Below in the photographs you will have the opportunity to independently, without haste, as they say, with feeling, clearly and carefully, get acquainted with information about the composition of the cream, method of application, correct storage temperature, manufacturer, and you will also be able to familiarize yourself with the list of excipients found in in cream. Information about the product series, production date and expiration date is located on the end of the box.
The cost of the cream leaves much to be desired, and when I came to buy it this time, I was simply horrified by it, because it “grew” to three hundred and seventy rubles. For comparison, I’ll say that the last time I bought it for one hundred and sixty rubles and that was, well, at most a year ago.
The cream is in a tube and its weight is sixty-seven grams, and its consumption is relatively average. Why relatively average? And all because it directly depends on the source of pain: the greater the source, the greater the consumption of cream and, accordingly, vice versa. That's why the consumption is relatively average.
The tube itself also contains brief but basic information.
In its color and consistency, this cream reminded me of the children's cream My Sun “Gentle”, but I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this is only in color and consistency. But the smell, of course, is quite pungent, like one of my previous nail polish removers.
Over the past few years, I have been periodically experiencing lower back pain. and sometimes I myself cannot understand the reason for this. At first I tried ointments from other manufacturers, but there was no desired effect. A friend recommended this cream because she had a similar problem. Actually, that’s how I “met” this cream, and subsequently became friends.
It is easy to use and I just rub it into the place where it hurts and put on a woolen belt. At first, when rubbing the cream, a chilling effect is felt, but then, over time, a warming effect begins to be felt. After using the cream, it becomes much better, the pain subsides and you can even start moving and doing household chores. After three days of using the pain cream, there is practically no trace left and I am already beginning to live a full life.
The instructions indicate overdoses and side effects, but this, thank God, did not happen to me, but I recommend that those interested still familiarize themselves with this information and therefore I will post a photo below that will contain this information.
After rubbing the cream, I always immediately wash my hands with soap, several times, since the smell of the cream can be so absorbed into the skin of my hands that later it will be much more problematic and longer.
I will recommend this cream for its effectiveness in treating pain, unless, of course, the strong smell bothers you.
