Precautions:
Like other salicylates, methyl salicylate can be absorbed through intact skin. Absorption through the skin increases in case of physical exercises, increased body temperature, occlusive dressings or diapers, skin lesions or large administration surfaces. That is why precautionary measures are necessary - especially in people with a high risk of adverse reactions to salicylates and in some cases avoiding the use of Salmet - T
Salmet-T should not be applied to large skin surfaces; also, it should not be applied to the breasts in breastfeeding women.
Among the excipients, this medicine contains terpenic derivatives (menthol and some components of pine oil), which reduce the epileptogenic threshold and, in excessive doses, can cause convulsions in children and agitation in the elderly.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility:
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Salicylates administered orally to pregnant women can be toxic to the fetus; their use is contraindicated in the last 4 months of pregnancy. Salicylates applied to the skin can be absorbed into the mother's blood and may expose the fetus to the same risk when applied to a large area of ​​skin or under an occlusive dressing. That is why Salmet - T should be avoided in pregnant women and used only on the doctor's recommendation, after analyzing the fetal risk/maternal benefit ratio.
It is not known whether methyl salicylate passes into breast milk; therefore, if you are breastfeeding, do not use Salmet - T without a doctor's recommendation.
