FDA警告称5款止痛膏致灼伤 曼秀雷敦最热销 发布时间：2012-9-19 来源：药品资讯网信息中心美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）日前警告称，5款止痛膏容易导致轻度甚至重度灼伤。其中包括曼秀雷敦、强生、赛诺菲等知名品牌。FDA处方管理发展司医药官员菲丽博士今晨接受本报采访时说："这些止痛药膏含有薄荷脑、水杨酸甲酯或是辣椒素，擦在患处应有凉爽感，却出现了使用后被灼伤的案例，甚至有患者住院。"据悉，使用薄荷脑作为单一活性成分的药膏后，患者出现了一度到三度不同程度的灼伤；如果使用了同时含有薄荷脑与水杨酸甲酯两种成分的药膏，当其成分分别超过3%和10%时，就会造成皮肤严重灼伤。 记者在淘宝等购物网站上搜索发现，奔肌、曼秀雷敦、冰热和Capzasin四种止痛膏都可以购买到，价格从30到300多元不等。其中销量最好的是曼秀雷敦强力摩擦膏。

Topical products for muscle, joint pain may cause burns: FDA Updated: Sep 17, 2012 11:24 PMFRIDAY, Sept. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Over-the-counter pain relievers designed to be rubbed into the skin -- such as Bengay and Icy Hot -- could cause skin injuries in rare cases, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning. If you experience burning pain or blistering after using the products, the FDA says, you should seek medical attention right away. The agency said it has received reports about severe skin injuries in people who use topical products to treat muscle and joint pain. Other products include Capzasin, Flexall, and Mentholatum. People have developed mild to severe chemical burns, some within a day after using a product just one time. Some burns were so severe that some people needed to be hospitalized, the FDA said. "There's no way to predict who will have this kind of reaction to a topical pain reliever for muscles and joints," Dr. Jane Filie, a medical officer in the FDA's division of nonprescription regulation development, said in an FDA news release. There have been 43 reported cases of burns associated with the use of over-the-counter topical muscle and joint pain relievers containing the active ingredients menthol, methyl salicylate and capsaicin -- a small number compared to the number of consumers who use the products, the FDA said. Most of the severe burns occurred after the use of pain relievers that include menthol or a combination of menthol and methyl salicylate; higher concentrations (greater than 3 percent menthol or 10 percent methyl salicylate) were more problematic. There were fewer cases involving products that contain another ingredient, capsaicin, the FDA said.

The FDA offers this advice:- Don't apply these products to damaged or irritated skin.- Don't put bandages on top of areas where you've applied one of these products.- After applying a product, don't make the area hotter through the use of heating pads, hot water bottles or lamps. That increases the risk of serious burns.- Don't allow the products to touch your eyes or mucous membranes (that includes skin inside the nose, mouth and genitals).- If you experience pain after using one of these products, be on the lookout for blistering or burning. If you see any, stop using the product and get medical help.
