BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - A recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration report has found that many Americans may be ingesting more than the recommended dose of over-the-counter acetaminophen to relieve pain, following a five-year FDA-sponsored educational campaign that identifies the risk of taking the drug. Whereas in the past taking pills seemed to be the most effective, these days people are turning to topical creams to control pain.
“Taking pain killers can be dangerous. However, what’s very moving is there are alternatives out there for those suffering from arthritis, muscle aches, joint aches, neck and back pain,” said Jack Amin, President and CEO of AmexDrug Corp. (OTCBB: AXRX), parent company to BioRx Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary that manufactures the SPONIX™ skin care product line.
The company offers two topical creams with innovative formulas which provide relief on contact -- SPONIX™ Arthritis Muscle & Pain Relief Cream and SPONIX™ Tired Feet & Legs -- both of which are recommended by top doctors, pharmacists, dermatologists and podiatrists.
SPONIX™ Arthritis and Muscle Pain Relief Cream is a greaseless, odor free, long-lasting topical analgesic that’s easy to apply and contains two unique active ingredients: trolamine salicylate and capsaicin. It’s different from other over-the-counter pain relievers because it includes the combination of nature’s most potent botanical extracts and essential oils: aloe leaf juice, chamomilla flower extract and amica montana flower extract.
SPONIX™ Tired Feet & Legs (gel applicator) contains stimulating and invigorating herbs and essential oils that naturally activate micro-circulation to restore vitality and energy. Whether the person is a construction worker, senior citizen, or athlete, the product will relax and relieve their tired, burning feet and aching legs with a lasting effect.
