Ultrasal is used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with muscles and joints, such as those caused by arthritis, strains, sprains, or bruises. It may also be used for backache or other localized pain conditions.

As a salicylate derivative, Ultrasal works by penetrating the skin to reach underlying tissues where it provides a counterirritant effect and may help reduce inflammation and pain signals in the localized area.

For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin. Do not apply heat or tight bandages over the medication. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medications. Discontinue use if rash, irritation, or excessive redness occurs.
