Nurofen Joint & Back 10% Gel

Nurofen Joint & Back 10% Gel is a fast-acting topical painkiller and anti-inflammatory, suitable for a range of symptoms, including:

• Backache
• Muscular and rheumatic pain
• Strains and sprains
• Sport injuries.

Targeted Pain Relief

Using a pain-relief gel instead of tablets allows you to target the pain or inflammation at its source. Since less ibuprofen will be absorbed in your system than if you took equivalent strength tablets, the chance of side effects is reduced.

Directions

• Always read the leaflet before use
• For Topical Use Only
• Adults, the elderly and children over 12 years: Squeeze 2 to 5 cm (i.e. 08. to 2 inches) of gel from the tube and rub into the affected area until absorbed - then wash your hands straight away. The amount of gel squeezed would be equivalent to 50 to 125 mg of ibuprofen
• Consult your doctor before use if you are asthmatic, have active peptic ulcer, kidney problems or are taking aspirin or other pain killers
• Talk to your doctor if your symptoms worsen or if there is no improvement after 14 days
• Check the tube seal is not broken before first use. Invert cap and press to break seal.
