Equate Arthricream Rub Trolamine Salicylate 10% Intestinal B

I've used the Wal-Mart Arthricream Rub for some time and recently experienced massive intestinal bleeding and was hospitalized. The bleeding stopped when I wasn't using the Arthricream Rub but lat after I had been out of the hospital for a few months and was using the Arthricream again, I was hospitalized again with internal bleeding. This is annoying and appears to be dangerous to use.

Trolamine Salicylate is also available under the brand name Aspercreme, because the Salicylate is derived from Salicylic Acid, which is Aspirin, so it should not be mixed with anything else containing the same ingredient, Aspirin, or other NSAIDs, such as Ibuprofen, or Naproxen. It may also interact with other medications that you may be taking.

It is also warned that prolonged use, or using it over large portions of the body can increase the risk of side effects, including stomach irritation, increased risk of bleeding, skin irritation, and nose bleeds. Though it is topical, some of it is still absorbed, and may cause problems in some people that use it.

How much are you using, and how often are you using it?

It is best to always remember that even if something is available over the counter, overdoing it, or using it improperly, can still be dangerous.
