Treatment Details

What is Ibuleve 5% Gel?
Ibuleve 5% Gel is a clear, fragrance-free topical gel containing ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as backaches, rheumatic pain, muscular pain, sprains, strains, and sports injuries. The gel provides direct relief by penetrating the skin to target the site of pain and inflammation.
How does Ibuleve 5% Gel work?
Ibuleve Gel works by delivering ibuprofen directly to the affected area. Ibuprofen inhibits the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. By blocking these chemicals, Ibuleve Gel effectively reduces pain and swelling, providing relief from discomfort and improving mobility.
