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.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store this gel at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent the gel from drying out. The product remains stable for the duration indicated on the packaging when stored correctly.

Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any expired medication safely through your local pharmacy disposal service.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

Application Instructions for Maximum Effectiveness

You should apply a thin layer of gel to the affected area and gently massage it into your skin until fully absorbed. Clean and dry the treatment area before application to ensure optimal absorption. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel unless you are treating your hands.

Dosage Frequency and Treatment Duration

You can apply the gel up to four times daily, with applications spaced at least four hours apart. Do not exceed the recommended frequency of application. Treatment duration should not exceed seven days unless advised by a healthcare professional. If your symptoms persist or worsen after this period, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
