Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel

What is Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel used for?

Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel is commonly used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and other joint pains, as well as sports injuries like sprains and strains.

The active ingredient in Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation.

Is Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel good for pain?

Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel is a clinically-effective pain reliever belonging to a class of drugs called NSAIDs, which are best suited for treating conditions involving inflammation or swelling. While other NSAIDs may be taken orally, piroxicam gel is applied topically, making it an ideal choice for patients suffering from:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Joint inflammatory disease
• Gout
• Sports injuries such as strains or sprains.

However, if you’re experiencing a different type of pain, such as a migraine, sore throat, or toothache, paracetamol is generally considered to be more appropriate

How Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel works

Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins; substances in the body that contribute to pain and inflammation.

When applied topically, Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel is absorbed through the skin and enters the underlying tissues, where it works locally to reduce inflammation and pain, making it particularly effective for localized pain relief, such as joint pain and muscle pain.

Topical NSAIDs are often considered to be a safer alternative for individuals who may be at higher risk of experiencing side effects from oral NSAIDs, such as stomach upset, ulcers, or kidney problems. This is because topical NSAIDs are absorbed locally at the site of application, and only a small amount is absorbed into the body. Compared to other medicines, topical NSAIDs are also less likely to interact with other drugs, making them a suitable option for people taking multiple medications.

How do I use Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel?

To use Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel, follow these general steps:

• Wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water and dry thoroughly.
• Squeeze a small amount of gel onto your fingertip
• Gently massage the gel into the affected area until it’s completely absorbed.
• Wash your hands after applying the gel and replace the cap.

Apply Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel three or four times a day. If there is no improvement in your symptoms, tell your doctor.

Do not rub your medication into damaged skin, for example wounds, scratches, infections or
dermatitis. Do not apply near eyes, nose, mouth, genital or anal (bottom) areas. If the Gel does
come into contact with these areas, rinse away with water.

Always use Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel as directed in your prescription, according to the instructions in the Patient Information Leaflet contained within the product packaging.

If you experience any side effects or have any questions about how to use Anti-Inflammatory Pain Treatment Gel, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
