Product overview
About the handy tube
The 50g tube of Care's ibuprofen 5% w/w gel: proven anti-inflammatory pain relief massaged straight into backache, muscular aches, sprains and strains. Small enough for a kit bag or bathroom cabinet — and the sensible first tube if you've not used a topical NSAID before.
Medicine where the pain is
A topical NSAID puts ibuprofen through the skin and into the inflamed tissue underneath, keeping the dose to the rest of the body low. Ideal for a single strain, a sore shoulder, or the back that grumbles after the garden — relief without adding another tablet to the day.
How to use
Massage a small amount into the affected area up to three or four times daily, at least four hours apart — the pack carries full directions and the minimum age. Wash hands after applying.
Good to know
Same rules as all ibuprofen gels: not on broken skin or near eyes, not if aspirin or ibuprofen has ever triggered asthma or allergy, and a pharmacist word first in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or alongside oral NSAIDs. Pain still there after two weeks? Get it assessed. Bigger 100g tube available for regulars.

Frequently asked questions
50g or 100g — which size?
The 50g suits first-time users, travel kits and one-off strains; regulars treating a recurring back or joint usually find the 100g better value.
How quickly does it work?
Cooling relief starts as you massage it in; the anti-inflammatory effect builds with regular use over days. Give a strain up to two weeks — then get it assessed if no better.
Who should avoid ibuprofen gel?
Anyone whose asthma or allergies have been set off by aspirin or ibuprofen, and it needs a pharmacist chat first in pregnancy or alongside oral NSAIDs.
