Check the seal is intact before first use (invert cap to break seal).
The recommended dose is:
Adults: Squeeze 4 to 10cm (i.e. 1.6 to 4 inches) of gel from the tube on affected area.
Massage until absorbed. This dose should not be repeated more frequently than every four hours
and no more than four times a day in any 24 hour period. The amount of gel squeezed would be
equivalent to 50 to 125mg of ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen 5% gel should only be used on healthy, unbroken skin. Do not use it on or near cuts or
grazes or under dressings such as plasters. Also, do not use it on the genital area.
Do not let any gel come in contact with your eyes.
If it does, rinse your eyes with cold water and consult your doctor. Hands should be washed after applying Ibuprofen 5% gel, unless they are the site of treatment.
If the condition does not improve after two weeks use, or becomes worse at any time, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
