جل الإيبوبروفين لتخفيف الألم

About ibuprofen gel

Ibuprofen is a medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is often referred to simply as 'an anti-inflammatory', or sometimes as an 'NSAID'. It works by preventing the production of some natural chemicals in your body, which cause pain and inflammation. This leaflet deals with ibuprofen when it is applied موضعياً على الجلد. Ibuprofen can also be عن طريق الفم in the form of tablets, capsules, and liquid medicine - there is more information about this in a separate medicine leaflet called إيبوبروفين للألم والالتهاب.

When ibuprofen is applied to the skin as a gel, instead of it having an effect on all of your body, it only works on the area that you have applied it to. It is absorbed into your skin and then moves deeper into areas of your body where there is inflammation (for example, your muscle). Using a skin gel means that the total amount of ibuprofen in your body remains low. This in turn means that you are much less likely to have a side-effect to the medicine.

Ibuprofen gel is suitable for use by adults and you can buy it without a prescription. It is not recommended for a child under the age of 12 unless it has been prescribed by a doctor.

To make sure that this is the right treatment for you, before you start using ibuprofen gel it is important that you speak with a doctor or pharmacist:

• إذا كنت حاملاً أو مرضعة.

• إذا كنت تعاني من الربو أو أي اضطراب تحسسي آخر.

• إذا كنت تعاني من حالة جلدية - مثل الإكزيما، على سبيل المثال.

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a non-steroidal painkiller (such as aspirin, naproxen, diclofenac, and indometacin) or to any other medicine.

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about ibuprofen and will provide you a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from using it.

• ضع طبقة رقيقة من الجل ودلكها بلطف على المنطقة المصابة. اغسل يديك جيدًا بعد استخدام الجل (إلا إذا كنت قد استخدمته لعلاج يديك).

• You can use the gel up to three times a day. If you forget to apply the gel at your usual time, don't worry, just apply it when you remember and then continue as before.

• حاول تجنب ملامسة الجل لعينيك، ولا تقم بتطبيقه على أي مناطق مكسورة أو متهيجة من بشرتك. إذا حدث ذلك عن طريق الخطأ، اغسله بالماء الدافئ في أسرع وقت ممكن.

• Ibuprofen gel could cause your skin to become more sensitive to sunlight than normal in areas where it has been applied. Do not use sunbeds, and protect any treated areas from strong sunlight until you know how your skin reacts.

• It is important that you don't cover any area of skin that has been treated with the gel with any dressings or bandages. This is because more ibuprofen could be absorbed by your skin than is intended, and this could lead to unwanted effects.

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the ones associated with ibuprofen gel, although these do not commonly occur. The best place to find a full list of the side-effects which can be associated with the gel, is from the manufacturer's printed information leaflet supplied with it. Alternatively, you can find an example of a manufacturer's information leaflet in the reference section below. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

إذا شعرت بأي أعراض أخرى تعتقد أنها قد تكون بسبب الجل، تحدث مع طبيبك أو الصيدلي للحصول على مزيد من النصائح.

There is a risk of fire when skin products are absorbed by fabrics (such as clothing or bedsheets), making them flammable. A spark or flame can easily ignite the fabric. The risk is highest when large amounts of paraffin-based products are applied and absorb into fabrics. However there is also a risk when non-paraffin products are used. Be aware of this fire hazard when repeatedly using large amounts of any skin product. Do not smoke or go near naked flames.
