Phorpain 5% Anti Inflammatory Sprains Pain Relief Gel – 1x 100g

1. What is Phorpain Gel used for?
Phorpain 5% Gel is used to relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints. It’s great for backache, sprains, strains, rheumatic pain, sports injuries, and mild arthritis.

2. How does it work?
It contains 5% ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When applied to the skin, it penetrates the area to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation directly at the source.

3. How do I use it?
Apply a strip of gel (5–10 cm) to the affected area and gently massage it into the skin. You can use it up to 4 times a day, leaving at least 4 hours between applications. Wash your hands after use.

4. Who can use it?
It’s suitable for adults and children over 14 years. Not recommended during pregnancy unless advised by a doctor.

5. Can I use it on broken or irritated skin?
No. Only apply the gel to intact, healthy skin. Avoid cuts, open wounds, or irritated areas.

6. Are there any side effects?
Most people use it without problems. Some may experience mild skin irritation, redness, or itching. Rarely, allergic reactions or sensitivity to sunlight may occur. Stop use and speak to a doctor if you notice unusual symptoms.

7. Can I use other ibuprofen products while using the gel?
Be cautious when combining with other ibuprofen (oral or topical) products. Check with a pharmacist or doctor to avoid exceeding the recommended dose.

8. Does it leave a greasy residue?
No. Phorpain Gel has a non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly into the skin.

9. Should I cover the area with a bandage?
Not usually. Let the skin breathe unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.

10. Can I use it before or after sports?
Yes! It’s ideal for sports injuries like sprains and strains. Use after activity to soothe pain or before to help warm up stiff muscles.
