Phorpain Maximum Strength Ibuprofen 10% Gel - 50g

Phorpain Maximum Strength Ibuprofen Gel 10% - 50g

You can apply this topical gel directly to areas of pain and inflammation for targeted relief. The gel contains 10% ibuprofen, which penetrates through your skin to reach the affected tissues beneath. This formulation allows you to treat localised pain without taking oral medication.

The 50g tube provides sufficient product for multiple applications across different treatment areas. You can use this gel for various types of musculoskeletal pain, making it a versatile addition to your pain relief routine.

How This Anti-Inflammatory Gel Works

When you apply the gel to your skin, the ibuprofen is absorbed through the skin barrier and accumulates in the underlying tissues. Once absorbed, it works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation.

This targeted approach means you can achieve therapeutic concentrations of the active ingredient at the site of injury or pain. The gel base helps facilitate absorption whilst providing a cooling sensation upon application.

Who Can Benefit From This Treatment

This ibuprofen gel 10% formulation suits adults and children over 14 years who experience localised pain and inflammation. You may find it particularly helpful if you prefer topical treatments over oral medications or need to avoid systemic side effects.

The gel is suitable for treating various conditions including:

• Muscle strains and sprains
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Sports-related injuries
• Back pain and neck pain

Why Choose Maximum Strength Formulation

The 10% concentration represents the highest strength of ibuprofen available in topical preparations without prescription. This concentration allows for effective treatment of moderate to severe localised pain whilst maintaining the safety profile associated with topical application.

You benefit from reduced systemic exposure compared to oral ibuprofen, which means fewer potential interactions with other medications and reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
