Used for the symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and other inflammatory conditions. May also be used for general analgesic purposes as directed by a healthcare provider.
As an NSAID, it works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemicals involved in pain, inflammation, and fever responses.
For topical use only; avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Common side effects may include local skin reactions. As with all NSAIDs, use with caution in patients with gastrointestinal, renal, or cardiovascular conditions. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
