General Information
Topical rubefacients for acute and chronic pain in adults. (Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2009) “AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The evidence does not support the use of topical rubefacients containing salicylates for acute injuries, and suggests that in chronic conditions their efficacy compares poorly with topical non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Topical salicylates seem to be relatively well tolerated in the short-term, based on limited data. There is no evidence at all for topical rubefacients with other components.”
Guidelines
