Frequently asked questions
How does Deep Heat work?
Deep Heat contains ingredients such as menthol and methyl salicylate that create a warming sensation on the skin, which helps soothe and relax aching muscles. It works on the surface rather than being absorbed like a tablet.
What does Deep Heat do?
It provides warming relief for muscular aches, pains, stiffness and minor sports strains by increasing the sensation of warmth in the area. It is for muscular, not internal, pain.
Does Deep Heat contain ibuprofen?
No, the classic Deep Heat warming rub does not contain ibuprofen; it works through warming ingredients like menthol. Deep Heat's sister product Deep Relief is the one that contains ibuprofen.
Can you use Deep Heat when pregnant?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist or GP before using Deep Heat or any topical muscle product. Do not use it on broken skin or with a heat source.
How often can I apply Deep Heat?
Follow the pack, which typically allows application a few times a day to the affected area. Wash your hands after use and do not cover with a bandage or apply heat on top.
Can I use Deep Heat before or after exercise?
Deep Heat is often used to warm up muscles before activity or to soothe them afterwards. Avoid using it on broken skin, and do not combine it with a hot bath or heat pad.
