Just wondering if anyone knows of a heat rub, similar to Deep Heat or Tiger Balm, that can be bought in pharmacies here? I took a look in the local one at lunch, but couldn't see anything...
Thanks
Folks,
How about Voltarol ? You can find it in any pharmacy in CH.There are also other oitments in pharmacy which relieve the pain in joints, muscless soreness and etc.. but I keep them at home and cannot remember the name right now! BTW: Tiger balsam can be got from oriental shops.
My husband swears by "Volotaren Dolo Emulgel" by Novartis. It's in a silver and orange tube, a larger version of a tube of toothpaste. Although maybe it's sold in a box. We usually buy things at SunStore, so that's where he probably bought this.
Your avatar always make me laugh!
Voltaren is same thing as Voltarol...
i swear by dul-x
After reading this thread, I went to a pharmacy and asked for the Voltaren/Volotarol and expected to get an ointment similar to Deep Heat. My boyfriend had a muscular pain in his side for a few days at this point and showed no signs of getting better.
However, the pharmacist gave me some tablets also called Voltaren. I was a bit sceptical at first as we usually use ointment for muscle pains. However, even just one dose of these tablets and my boyfriend felt remarkably better! So tablets work as well, strangely enough!
On occasion I've used both the pills and the gel in combo, but prefer the gel because the pills are sometimes a little hard on the stomach.
This thread is a bit old, but I was wondering if it‘s now possible to get deep heat anywhere in Zürich? Thanks
I‘ve seen this: https://www.tinovamed.ch/produktesho...eat-Creme.html
My physio in CH used this on my knotted muscles. I find the hot a bit too much but the original is perfect. Available in pharmacies.
Flying Tiger sells "China Balm" for 2fr I saw last wknd, but I found theirs putting me to sleep instead of waking me up. DM Drogerie in Germany/Austria sells theirs for cheap, too, and is quite good, to wake me up after a whole day of classes.
I find Tiger Balm in the bigger pharmacies, just saw it in the Sunstore today. I prefer arnica and Voltren (?) personally. There’s also that Per—something or another that smells horrendous but my husband loves the bath additives and the muscle cream from them.
