Ibuleve™
Product Overview
Ibuleve provides a special way of applying targeted pain relief directly over the affected area with less risk of the side effects that can be associated with painkilling pills and tablets. The active ingredient is ibuprofen, which has well-established analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions that help reduce pain, swelling and inflammation.
A published clinical study shows that, when treating soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains and back pain, Ibuleve gel can match the efficacy and speed of pain relief offered by oral 400mg ibuprofen tablets.1 In fact, in a head to head comparison with other ibuprofen gels and creams, Ibuleve was shown to be absorbed through the skin up to five times more effectively compared to some common ibuprofen gels.2
Ibuleve is available in a range of different formats including gel, maximum strength gel, spray and mousse.
Contains ibuprofen. Always read the label.
