The salicylic acid compound enhances the anti-inflammatory action and is extremely effective for relieving deep-seated pain. In addition, Reparil^®-Gel N has the following advantages: Reparil^®-Gel N is transparent and penetrates rapidly and completely into the affected tissues. Reparil^®-Gel N does not make the skin greasy, does not smear and is therefore particularly clean and pleasant to use. Reparil^®-Gel N cools the painful area, it is kind to the skin and is outstandingly well tolerated even on sensitive parts of the skin. Presentation and pack sizes: 10 g, 20 g and 40 g.
