Cautions
- Protect treated areas from direct sunlight to avoid any sensitivity reaction, e.g. a rash.
- If you develop a rash after using the gel stop using it any further.
- Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine. You should not use Ibuleve Max Strength Pain Relief 10% Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not use Ibuleve Max Strength Pain Relief 10% Gel:
- If you are allergic to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
- If you are asthmatic, suffer from rhinitis (allergic runny nose) or urticaria (hives) and have ever had a bad reaction to aspirin, ibuprofen or other NSAIDs in the past.
- On broken, damaged, infected or diseased skin.
- If you have severe joint pain of recent onset that is not related to an injury or period of overuse.
- If you feel ill, have a temperature or any other symptoms that accompany the pain.
Before applying Ibuleve Max Strength Pain Relief 10% Gel for the first time, make sure it is suitable for you to use:
- Because this product is delivered through the skin directly to the painful area, there is less risk of the complications that sometimes occur when ibuprofen (or a similar anti-inflammatory painkiller) is taken by mouth. However in rare cases you may be at risk:
- If you have a stomach ulcer (also called a peptic or gastric ulcer).
- If you have ever had kidney problems.
- If you have ever had asthma.
- If you have ever had a bad reaction to ibuprofen taken by mouth.
If any of the above apply to you, only use this product on advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Using other medicines:
- Interaction between this product and blood pressure lowering drugs and anticoagulants (medicines that stop blood clotting) is possible, in theory, although very unlikely. If you would like more advice about this, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
- If you are also taking aspirin or other NSAIDs by mouth, discuss this beforehand with your doctor or pharmacist because these may increase the risk of undesirable effects.
- Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without prescription.
