{"product_id":"ethical-agents-penetrene-a-liniment","title":"Ethical Agents Penetrene A Liniment","description":"\u003cp\u003eA long-established liniment that assists massage in treating sprains and strains in horses and dogs, now with an improved formulation. Penetrene A has been widely used to promote blood flow to damaged tissue and so assist the natural healing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's in it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA green liquid with a characteristic smell of menthol and acetone. Each 100ml contains acetone 25.0g, menthol 1.14g, sassafras oil 0.26g and aniseed oil 0.37g, in an alcoholic base. The colouring is deliberate — it shows exactly where you have treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination acts as a rubefacient, stimulating blood circulation to the muscles, ligaments and tendons under the area of application, with a mild antiseptic and analgesic effect alongside. The acetone carries it through the skin so it acts at the site of the strain rather than on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe massage matters as much as the liniment. Working it in reduces the development of unwanted adhesions at the injury site, while the improved blood flow supports normal healing and helps clear inflammatory debris. Combined with rest, that aids natural repair and reduces internal scarring, without anti-inflammatory drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUsing it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for horses and dogs. Strong smelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA liniment supports recovery from minor strains. If there is heat, swelling or lameness that is not settling, have your vet examine the animal rather than continuing to treat it topically.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethical Agents","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":51478022062244,"sku":"PENE04","price":76.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/9103\/5451\/files\/ethical-agents-penetrene-a-liniment.jpg?v=1790278658","url":"https:\/\/nztack.co.nz\/products\/ethical-agents-penetrene-a-liniment","provider":"NZ Tack Saddlery Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
