1. What Ibumetin is and what it is used for
Ibumetin is an analgesic and rheumatologic preparation used topically, which is in the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

If your doctor has prescribed this medicine for another indication, follow the doctor’s instructions.
2. What you need to know before you use Ibumetin Do not use Ibumetin:
- if you are allergic to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you have had hypersensitivity reactions (asthma symptoms, allergic rhinitis, or hives) to acetylsalicylic acid or other anti-inflammatory preparations. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.
Ibumetin gel should not be applied on damaged skin (eczema, acne), inflamed skin, or open wounds. Ibumetin gel may not be used in children younger than 14 years.
Warnings and precautions

Gel-coated skin may not be bandaged tightly.
The direct contact of the gel with the eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided.
If you develop a skin rash, discontinue the treatment immediately.
The recommended one-week long treatment should not be exceeded, as the risk of developing contact dermatitis increases in the case of prolonged use.
The gel should not be used in direct sunlight or in a tanning bed.
Other medicines and Ibumetin
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Considering the small plasma concentration of ibuprofen following topical administration, interactions are unlikely.
Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
As the plasma concentration is low in topical administration, the development of toxic effects in a foetus is small but there are no clinical data.
Ibumetin gel may be used while breast-feeding. The exposure of the infant to gel-coated skin should be avoided.
Driving and using machines
Ibumetin does not have or has a negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines.

3. How to use Ibumetin

Adults
Apply a thin layer of gel onto the affected area 3 times a day and massage until the gel has completely absorbed. It is recommended to wash your hands after applying the gel. The normal daily dose for an adult is 9-10 g of gel (10 g equals an approximately 17 cm line of gel). The daily dose should not exceed 15 g of gel and the duration of treatment should not exceed 1 week.
If your doctor has recommended a different dosage, follow your doctor’s instructions.
Use in children
The safety and efficacy of the gel containing ibuprofen in children has not been established, which is why Ibumetin gel is not recommended to be used in children younger than 14 years.
If you take more Ibumetin than you should
The risk of an overdose in the case of topical administration is practically non-existent.
If Ibumetin gel is accidentally ingested, it may cause systemic side effects depending on the quantity. The most common side effects of an ibuprofen overdose include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and drowsiness.
