Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen gel contains the active ingredient Ibuprofen and can be used on individuals over the age of 12 years old. Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines known as NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and it works by reducing inflammation and pain in the area it is applied to. Ibuprofen is a simple painkilling medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It is used for the topical treatment of backache, rheumatic and muscular pain, sprains, strains and neuralgia. Ibuprofen Gel can also be used for symptomatic relief of pain that may be caused from non-serious arthritic conditions and various sports injuries.
Once Ibuprofen Gel has been applied to the skin, it is absorbed into the underlying tissues in order to reduce pain and any inflammation in the local area. As Ibuprofen Gel is a topical preparation it is particularly useful as it can be applied directly to the affected area of pain. Ibuprofen gel should be avoided if you have had an allergic reaction to ibuprofen, aspirin or any other NSAID drugs. Ibuprofen Gel is available from our online pharmacy in 2 different strengths, 5% and 10%.
