When NOT to apply Ibuleve Gel

• Do not use if you are allergic to any of its ingredients (as listed earlier).
• Do not use if you have experienced problems in the past with aspirin, ibuprofen or related painkillers (including when taken by mouth), especially where associated with a history of asthma, allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) or urticaria (allergy of the skin associated with weals).
• Do not use if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
• Keep away from broken skin, the eyes, nose and mouth.

Make sure it is appropriate for you to use Ibuleve Gel.

Because Ibuleve Gel is applied to the skin, directly over the painful area, there is less risk of the complications that sometimes arise when ibuprofen (or similar anti-inflammatory painkillers) are taken by mouth. However, there are certain categories of patients who may be at risk in rare cases.

Do not use Ibuleve Gel in any of the following cases without first seeking medical advice from a doctor or a pharmacist:

• If you have ever suffered from asthma.
• If you have a stomach ulcer (also called a peptic or gastric ulcer).
• If you have ever suffered from kidney problems.
• If you are already taking aspirin or other painkillers.

• Ibuleve Gel is for external use only.
• Ibuleve Gel is not normally recommended for use on children under the age of 12 years, unless instructed by their doctor.
• Interaction between Ibuleve Gel and blood pressure lowering drugs is possible, in theory, although very unlikely.
• Where aspirin or other NSAID tablets are taken concurrently, it is important to bear in mind that these may increase the incidence of undesirable effects.

Any overdose with ibuprofen applied to the skin is extremely unlikely. In case of severe overdosage (for example if the gel is accidentally swallowed) symptoms include headache, vomiting, drowsiness and low blood pressure, and the patient should be taken to a doctor or hospital straight away.

How to apply Ibuleve Gel

Ibuleve Gel is for external use only.

Unscrew the cap, turn it upside-down and use the sharp point inside the cap to pierce the tube membrane. Lightly apply a thin layer of the gel over the affected area. Massage gently until absorbed. Wash hands after use, unless treating them.

Re-apply as required, up to twice more daily, or as instructed by your doctor. If your symptoms persist for more then a few weeks, consult your doctor or a pharmacist.

During your treatment

Because the preparation is applied to the skin, directly over the affected area, there is less risk of the complications that can sometimes arise when ibuprofen is taken by mouth. However, undesirable effects can occur very occasionally. Mostly these involve application site skin rashes, itching or irritation. Very rarely, wheezing may occur in people who already have a history of asthma or allergic problems, or kidney problems may occur in people with kidney disease. Abdominal pain or stomach upset have been reported in rare instances, as have non-specific allergic reactions. If you are in any doubt about your treatment, or if you experience any of the following, stop treatment immediately and tell your doctor or pharmacist: unexplained bruising, wheezing, shortness of breath, skin rash, itching, facial swelling, or any other undesirable effect.

How to store Ibuleve Gel

This product should not be used after the expiry date shown on the fold of the tube.

Always replace the cap tightly after use. Store Ibuleve Gel at room temperature (not exceeding 25°C), in a safe place where children cannot see or reach it.

The Ibuleve Tube Squeezer

For those who experience difficulty squeezing tubes with their hands, we have provided an Ibulever with this pack. For economy, the Ibulever will help expel the last few grams of gel when the tube is nearly empty. Before using the Ibulever, ensure that the tube nozzle has been pierced with the point in the top of the tube cap:-

1. Slide the folded end of the tube into the slit of the Ibulever.
2. Carefully turn the Ibulever to roll up the tube until the required amount of gel is dispensed.
3. Once attached, the Ibulever should be left in place on the end of the tube. Always replace tube cap after each application.
