Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Celadrin Joint Liposome Lotion. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Arnica has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for use as a food flavoring in the US (4912). However, Canadian regulations do not allow its use as a food ingredient (12). ...when used orally in homeopathic dilutions of 30C and up to 5C (19110,19111,19117,19124,19126,96769). ...when used topically on unbroken skin, short-term (12).
LIKELY UNSAFE ...when used orally or when applied topically to broken skin. Arnica is considered poisonous and has caused severe or fatal poisonings (5). Arnica can cause gastroenteritis, muscle paralysis, bleeding, arrhythmia, hypertension, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, multi-organ failure, and death (4,5,17,104,19101,19102,19103,19104,19105,19106,19107,19108).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY UNSAFE
when used orally or topically; avoid using (12).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately, short term. MSM in doses of 1.5-6 grams daily or 50 mg/kg daily has been used safely in studies lasting up to 6 months (8574,12469,14335,17127,19312,96446,96448,102555). One specific product (OptiMSM, Bergstrom Nutrition) is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (102555). ...when used topically. Topical cream containing MSM and silymarin, as well as topical gel containing MSM, hyaluronic acid, and tea tree oil, have been used with apparent safety for up to 20 days (19318,19319).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Celadrin Joint Liposome Lotion. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, arnica might have additive effects with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. Homeopathic arnica preparations are unlikely to have this interaction.
Details
In vitro evidence shows that sesquiterpene lactones in arnica flowers can decrease platelet aggregation (104). However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

General
...Orally, arnica is unsafe and can cause toxicity.
When used in homeopathic amounts, arnica seem to be generally well tolerated. Topically, arnica also seems to be generally well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Bleeding, gastroenteritis, hypertension, muscle paralysis, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath.
Topically: Contact dermatitis and irritation.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Arrhythmia, coma, multi-organ failure, and death.
Cardiovascular ...Orally, arnica can cause tachycardia or a faster heart rate (11,17113,19101,19102). A 24-year-old female presented to the emergency department with palpitations and vomiting 24 hours after ingesting a cup of tea that reportedly contained arnica flowers picked from her local area of mountainous Southern California. The species was not specified in the article and there was no indication by the authors that any testing had been done to confirm the identity of the plant (90610).
Dermatologic ...Orally, arnica can cause irritation of mucous membranes (11,17113). Topically, arnica can cause contact itchiness, dry skin, and rash (17113). Oral lesions resulted in a woman who used a mouthwash incorrectly by not following dilution instructions. The mouthwash was 70% alcohol and contained arnica and oil of peppermint (19106).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, arnica can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (11,17113,19101,19102). Homeopathic arnica has been reported to cause dry mouth (30C) and sore tongue (6C) (19107). A 24-year-old female presented to the emergency department with palpitations and vomiting 24 hours after ingesting a cup of tea that reportedly contained arnica flowers picked from her local area of mountainous Southern California. The species was not specified in the article and there was no indication by the authors that any testing had been done to confirm the identity of the plant (90610).
Musculoskeletal ...Adverse effects after ingesting arnica include muscle weakness (19101). Homeopathic arnica has been reported to result in the feeling of a "throbby" head or neck (19107).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, arnica may cause drowsiness, nervousness, and headache (11,17113,19101,19107).
Ocular/Otic ...In a case report, accidental intake of a large amount of a homeopathic Arnica-30 resulted in acute vision loss due to bilateral toxic optic neuropathy (19105).
Psychiatric ...Oral homeopathic arnica (6C) may cause depressed feelings, specifically a feeling of unhappiness (19107).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, arnica can cause shortness of breath (11,17113).
General
...Orally, MSM is generally well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Bloating, diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea.
Dermatologic ...In rare cases, MSM has caused pruritus when taken orally (8574).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, MSM may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, bloating, and diarrhea (8574,12469).
Immunologic ...Orally, MSM may increase allergy symptoms (8574).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, MSM may cause headache, fatigue, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating (8574,14335).
Ocular/Otic ...In a case report, a 35-year-old female presented with bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma, which resolved 4 days after discontinuing a multi-ingredient product. Although the product contained over 35 vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients, only MSM contained sulfur, which the authors suggest acted like a sulfa-drug to cause acute angle closure glaucoma (90613).
