BELLADONNA PLASTER(LION) 1*10

About

Belladonna Plaster is a medicated adhesive plaster traditionally used for localized pain relief, particularly for muscular aches, stiffness, and rheumatic conditions. It contains extracts from the belladonna plant, primarily atropine and scopolamine, which are anticholinergic alkaloids. When applied topically, these compounds are believed to exert a local analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, though the exact mechanism for topical pain relief is not fully understood. The plaster provides a sustained release of these active ingredients directly to the affected area, offering prolonged comfort. It also often provides a warming sensation, which can further aid in muscle relaxation and pain reduction. While offering symptomatic relief, it is important to be aware of potential systemic absorption, especially with prolonged use or application over large areas, due to the nature of its active ingredients.

• Management of backache and lumbago.
• Alleviation of joint pain and rheumatic conditions.
