Altacet Gel 75g

Altacet in the form of a gel is an anti-swelling, astringent and pain-relieving drug . It relieves pain associated with bruises and other injuries quickly and effectively.

Altacet Composition and action:
The Altacet gel contains the active substance – aluminum acetate tartrate, as well as ethanol and menthol as auxiliary substances.
