About the product
Phorpain Ibuprofen Gel 5% is a topical anti-inflammatory pain relief treatment used for muscle aches, joint pain, sprains, strains, and sports injuries. It contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the production of prostaglandins - chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation. Applied directly to the skin over the affected area, the gel provides targeted relief with minimal absorption into the rest of the body, reducing the risk of systemic side effects. It is usually massaged gently into the skin up to three times daily, helping to ease discomfort and improve mobility during recovery.

How it works
Phorpain Ibuprofen Gel 5% is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes locally in tissues. When applied to skin, ibuprofen penetrates to underlying muscles and joints, reducing production of prostaglandins – inflammatory mediators that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.
This localised action provides targeted relief for muscle strains, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries while minimizing systemic side effects compared to oral NSAIDs. The gel formulation allows controlled absorption through the skin, providing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects directly at the affected area.
