Ibuprofen Tesco Health (Ibuprofen)

The ibuprofen in this formulation inhibits the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, lessen pain signaling, and help bring down elevated body temperature at the site of application.

The appropriate amount and frequency of application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided on the product label or by their clinician, as dosing may vary based on the condition being treated and individual factors.

Safety data for topical ibuprofen during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this product to assess potential risks and benefits.

Compared with oral NSAIDs, the topical formulation of ibuprofen delivers the active ingredient directly to the affected area, potentially reducing systemic exposure and associated gastrointestinal risks. However, its overall efficacy may be lower for severe pain, and it is best suited for localized musculoskeletal discomfort.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use to maintain product stability.

Apply a thin layer of the product to clean, dry skin over the affected area, gently massaging it until absorbed. Follow the frequency and duration recommended by the prescriber or indicated on the label, typically not exceeding the stated maximum daily applications.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and systemic NSAID toxicity that can affect kidney function or cause gastrointestinal bleeding, especially when used with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe renal impairment, or broken/infected skin at the intended application site should avoid using this product. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before use.
