Flanax Liniment has analgesic, anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties, making its use ideal to quickly reduce muscle and joint pain. You can use both Flanax Liniment and Flanax Pain Reliever Tablets together. Use the Flanax Liniment first since the analgesic effect of the Liniment is quick (30 minutes) and also take a Flanax Pain Reliever Tablet to reduce muscle aches, pains, and strains. The Flanax Pain Reliever Tablet would take 2 hours to reach peak concentration so 2 hours after the application of the Liniment the tablets would start working and provide another 8-12 hours of pain relief.
