Description
Nurofen Joint & Back 10% Gel is a fast-acting topical painkiller and anti-inflammatory, suitable for a range of symptoms, including:
- Backache
- Muscular and rheumatic pain
- Sports injuries.
- Strains and sprains
How does Nurofen Joint & Back 10% Gel Target Pain?
Using a pain-relief gel instead of tablets allows you to target the pain or inflammation at its source. Since less ibuprofen will be absorbed in your system than if you took equivalent strength tablets, the chances of side effects is also reduced.
Warnings
- When applying the gel to the skin, be careful to avoid the eyes, lips and mouth and any damaged skin
- Protect treated areas from direct sunlight to avoid any sensitivity reaction e.g. a rash
- Do NOT use on the genital area
- Do NOT apply a dressing to the same area after using the gel
- If you develop a rash after using the gel stop using it any further
- Consult your doctor before use if you are asthmatic, have active peptic ulcer, kidney problems or are taking aspirin or other pain killers
- Talk to your doctor if your symptoms worsen or if there is no improvement after 14 days
