Naproxen 10% w/w, 35g Gel
SKU GME1229Pain Relief
Product Introduction
Naproxen 10% w/w gel provides local relief of pain and inflammation in muscles, joints and soft tissues. It is used for problems such as strains, sprains, minor injuries and local arthritic discomfort.
How to use
Apply a thin layer to intact skin over the painful area and massage gently until absorbed. Wash your hands afterwards unless the hands are being treated. Avoid tight occlusive dressings, heating pads and application to cuts or inflamed skin.
How it works
Naproxen inhibits cyclo-oxygenase enzymes and reduces prostaglandin formation in treated tissues. Lower local prostaglandin activity helps reduce pain and inflammatory swelling.
Side effects
Redness, itching, rash, burning or contact dermatitis may occur. Applying over large areas or for long periods can increase systemic NSAID exposure.
Important information
Avoid use after an allergic reaction to naproxen, aspirin or another NSAID, including NSAID-triggered wheezing. Pregnancy, especially the later stages, and concurrent oral NSAID use require particular care. Keep the gel away from eyes and mucous membranes.
Uses
- Local musculoskeletal pain and inflammation associated with strains, sprains, injury or arthritic conditions.
Benefits
Provides anti-inflammatory treatment at the painful site and can ease local soreness during movement.
Does gel application have the same whole-body exposure as a tablet?
Topical use generally gives lower systemic exposure, but absorption still occurs and increases with extensive or prolonged application.
Can it heal a torn ligament or fracture?
It relieves symptoms; it does not repair a structural injury or replace appropriate immobilisation and rehabilitation.
Should a heating pad be used over the treated area?
No. Heat and tight coverings can increase absorption and irritation.
Can I use naproxen gel while taking naproxen or ibuprofen tablets?
Both routes contribute NSAID exposure. Adding an oral NSAID can increase adverse effects even when the gel is applied locally.
What if an injured joint is severely swollen or cannot bear weight?
Those features can indicate a more significant injury and need assessment rather than repeated gel application alone.
