1.    WHAT IBULEVE SPEED RELIEF GEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

•    Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel is an anti-inflammatory painkiller applied to, and absorbed through, the skin.

•    It is for the treatment of the following conditions involving the musculoskeletal system:

•    muscular backache

•    muscular pain

•    rheumatic pain

•    aches

•    pains

•    swellings

•    sprains

•    strains

•    sports injuries.

•    Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel is recommended for use by adults, the elderly and children over the age of 12 years.

   The active ingredient in this product is ibuprofen. This is one of a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

•    Ibuprofen works by:

•    relieving pain

•    reducing swelling and inflammation.

2.    BEFORE YOU USE IBULEVE SPEED RELIEF GEL

Do not use Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel:

   if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel listed in Section 6;

   if you are asthmatic, or suffer from rhinitis (allergic runny nose) or urticaria (hives) and have ever had a bad reaction to aspirin, ibuprofen or other NSAIDs in the past;

   if you are pregnant or breast-feeding;

•    on broken, damaged, infected or diseased skin;

•    if you have severe joint pain of recent onset that is not related to an injury or period of overuse;

•    if you feel ill, have a temperature or any other symptoms that accompany the pain.

Before applying this product for the first time,

make sure it is suitable for you to use:

Because Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel is delivered through the skin, directly over the painful area, there is less risk of the complications that sometimes occur when ibuprofen (or a similar anti-inflammatory painkiller) is taken by mouth. However, in rare cases you may be at risk:

•    if you have a stomach ulcer

(also called a peptic or gastric ulcer);

•    if you have ever had kidney problems;

•    if you have ever had asthma;

•    if you have ever had a bad reaction to aspirin or ibuprofen taken by mouth.

If any of the above apply to you, only use this product on advice from your doctor or pharmacist. Take special care when using this product:

•    Use it only on the skin.

•    Do not use on children under 12 years of age except on the advice of a doctor.

•    Do not apply it to broken or irritated skin.

•    Do not use under protective waterproof dressings.

•    Do not use more than the recommended dose (see Section 3).

•    Keep the gel away from the eyes, nose and mouth. Using other medicines

•    Interaction between Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel and blood pressure lowering drugs and anticoagulants (medicines that stop blood clotting) is possible, in theory, although very unlikely. If you would like more advice about this, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

•    If you are also taking aspirin or other NSAIDs by mouth, discuss this beforehand with your doctor or pharmacist because these may increase the risk of undesirable effects.

•    Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines including other medicines obtained without prescription.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

You should not use Ibuleve Speed Relief Gel

if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Driving and using machinery

Using this product is not known to affect your

ability to drive or use machinery.

•    Carry on using the gel in this way for up to two weeks (or longer if recommended by your doctor), until your condition gets better.

If the gel comes into contact with broken skin or gets into the eyes, nose or mouth

•    The product may cause irritation if it comes into contact with broken skin or gets into the eyes, nose or mouth. If this happens, rinse the affected areas with plenty of water. If rinsing one eye, take care to avoid washing product into the other eye. If irritation persists, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
