Traumeel Ampoules vs Tablets vs Gel vs Ointment: Which Should You Choose?

Traumeel is made by Heel in several forms, and they are built around the same remedy. The real question is which form suits how you want to use it. Here is a plain comparison of the ampoules, tablets, gel and ointment.

The short answer

• Ampoules are the form most often chosen for acute injuries and by practitioners, and the best value per dose in bulk.
• Tablets are the easy everyday and travel option, and the cheapest per dose.
• Gel and ointment are applied to the skin over the sore area and are often used alongside the ampoules or tablets.

Traumeel S ampoules

Each box holds 2.2 ml ampoules. They can be taken orally (drunk) or injected (i.m., s.c., i.d., i.v.), which is why practitioners often choose them for acute injuries, joint pain and post-operative use. One box of 100 ampoules costs £239.10, about £2.39 per ampoule. Three boxes (300 ampoules) cost £681.45, about £2.27 per ampoule.

See Traumeel S ampoules.

Traumeel tablets

Tablets dissolve slowly in the mouth. They are small, easy to carry and need no preparation, so they suit travel, work and daily use. In acute cases they can be taken every 15 minutes until symptoms ease, up to 12 tablets a day. A box of 50 tablets costs £12.47 (about £0.25 each) and a box of 250 costs £36.93 (about £0.15 each).

Traumeel gel

Gel is rubbed in over the affected area. It is light, absorbs quickly and has been known to suit sprains, bruises and sore muscles. A 50 g tube costs £13.86 and a 250 g tube costs £51.98.

Traumeel ointment

Ointment is applied the same way but has a richer, more occlusive texture, which some people prefer for larger or drier areas. A 50 g tube costs £11.80 and a 100 g tube costs £21.98.
