Using muscle relaxing creams

[Cooperburns]

My son who has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy takes ramipril and bisoprolol, can he apply the likes of deep heat?

Thanks in advance for replies

You might like to ask your local pharmacist. They are likely to know about reactions of medications.

I’m on Bisoprolol following valve replacement and I use Deep Heat to help leg muscle cramps. Just staying away from the ibuprofen based creams I believe is the right thing to do. X

The best thing is to ask the prescribing medic - everyone is different and the only person who knows your son's complete history is the medic who prescribed the medications.

I'm on once daily Bisoprolol 1.25mg+300mg aspirin, my consultants (three, cardiologist, rheumatologist, and neurologist - heart, rheumatoid arthritis, Essential Tremor) and GP (who manages my thoracic outlet syndrome from car wreck related nerve damage) - they hemmed, they hawed, and finally decided I could use Deep Heat but NOT Voltarol as the ingredients in Voltarol are not safe for use with my beta blocker.

Now, I would have had NO idea one would be ok but the other not - it was only after asking the medics that I discovered that expensive unopened tube of Voltarol needed to be passed to my disgustingly healthy husband
