Arth Arrest (capsaicin and methyl nicotinate) is a topical non-prescription lotion for arthritis, back pain, muscle pain, shoulder pain, bruises, and sprains. Capsaicin is an analgesic derived from peppers that relieves pain in the skin and joints by preventing nerves from sending pain signals to the brain. Methyl nicotinate is a counter-irritant. It widens blood vessels and increases blood flow in the affected area, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the affected area and flushing out any harmful or irritating substances created by the injury. The retail price for Arth Arrest is $41.98 for 2, 85gm of 0.025-0.5% bottles of Arth Arrest, but SingleCare discounts are eligible on over-the-counter products, like Arth Arrest, when prescribed by a physician. With a prescription, a SingleCare Arth Arrest discount card reduces the price of Arth Arrest to $30.32 at major retailers, pharmacies, and supermarkets.

Arth Arrest (capsaicin and methyl nicotinate) is a topical non-prescription lotion for arthritis, back pain, muscle pain, shoulder pain, bruises, and sprains.
Capsaicin is an analgesic derived from peppers that relieves pain in the skin, joints, and muscles by preventing nerves from sending pain signals to the brain.
Methyl nicotinate widens blood vessels and increases blood flow in the affected area, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the affected area and flushing out any harmful or irritating substances created by the injury.
Arth Arrest is rubbed on the skin over the affected joint, muscle, or skin. Pain relief will not be noticeable for a few days.
Side effects of Arth Arrest are common and involve temporary site reactions to the ingredients, particularly capsaicin. Most patients will experience burning, stinging, itching, and redness for as long as 48 hours after application. Over time, this burning and itching will reduce with repeated use.
Some patients experience severe burning, stinging, and itching; if the pain is intolerable, wash the site with soap and cold water. Warm water, hot water, heat, and sunlight will make the burning, stinging, and itching at the application site worse.
Contact with the eye can be very painful and last for several hours, so wear latex gloves when applying Arth Arrest to the skin. When applying Arth Arrest to the hand, avoid contact with the face for 30 minutes and then wash your hands with soap and cold water.
Allergic reactions are rare, but you should discontinue the use of Arth Arrest if you notice a rash, swelling, or start to have trouble breathing.
