Ibugel range
 |
This range contains ibuprofen, a popular topical Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID), which provides both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties delivered direct to the site of the pain. The Ibugel range of 'topical NSAIDs' offers a safer alternative to oral NSAIDs and their associated side-effects.
