Review: It WORKS!!!!!! - So glad I remembered IODEX.Always a jar was in the medicine cabinet. For scrapes. bruises , fractures etc. Hard to find but desertcart has it. Thank goodness. I am eighty years young and its been a while since I needed it..I called my daughter to tell her I ordered it, she laughed because I must have used a whole jar on her for she was wild and always hurting herself.
Review: Excellent service - Excellent product. Delivered quickly. I recommend this company.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it reduce inflammation?**
A: It helps a little to get some of the flexibility back into place.  Especially if use on a daily basis.  However, it does not get rid off the inflammation entirely. It calms the pain on the area slightly, because one of the ingredients is Salicylate which is the same as aspirin.  I think Iodex is a good old fashion product.  I have used this product easily for 40 years...and it works for me.

**Q: Is this ointment Black?**
A: Yes. Its like black Vaseline, and this is an old home my medicine and an amazing product that prevents bruising if applied to the skin shortly after being bumped. My family has used this product for , believe it or not, FIFTY years!!!  Nothing works as well or is more effective against bruising.  The only caveat is that it will stain clothing if not rubbed into the skin thoroughly, but this is a small compromise to make given its 100 percent effectiveness. There's No home remedy that I know of that works as well and dozens of family members and friends now use it as there go-to remedy with one use.
Highest recommendation!!!

**Q: What are the ingredients besides methyl salicylate?**
A: Active ingredients: 4.8% oil of wintergreen(synthetic), 4.7% Iodine Other ingredients: Petrolatum, Oleic acid, Paraffin. Hope this helps you.

**Q: How is this different than the original iodex?**
A: After using Iodex for years, and comparing , I'd say there is basically no difference except for the scent.. The Methyl Salicylate has a more methonol aroma. But that's about the only difference. Great product whichever you use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Iodex works better than anything else
*by R***B on December 14, 2017*

Baar makes indispensable ointments that work. My family has used Iodex for 50 years or more. When I started a family of my own, my kids grew up knowing the benefits of Iodex and today each of them have the little Iodex bottles in their own medicine cabinets. In a country overburdened with advertising, much of it less than truthful, Baar stands apart as a company that has integrity and a great product. Iodex is a remarkable product that has stood the test of time. I very much doubt many other products on the market today will be around 50 years from now. I think Baar and Iodex will be for a very long time. I want my grand-kids to have the opportunity to use these products too. Still the best on the market! Tried and true.
