what is liniment in pharmacy - #25070
I am really confused about something and hope someone here can help me. A few weeks ago, I strained my back while lifting something heavy. Been dealing with a lot of pain and discomfort since then. I went to the pharmacy to get some relief and the pharmacist recommended this bottle they called "liniment." I was like, what is liniment in pharmacy, really? I mean, I have never heard of it before, and is it supposed to work like a regular painkiller or something? I applied it as directed, and while my back didn’t feel super great, I thought maybe it’s just me not using it right? Or maybe I should've tried something else? My friend said he uses liniment for his sore muscles after workouts, but yeah, not sure if it’s the same for my back. Does it have any side effects or should I be super cautious? Really just looking for some clear advice, cause I can’t keep fumbling around with this pain. What is liniment in pharmacy actually supposed to do? Thanks in advance!
