Ibutop gel is a topical medication used to relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints. It belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It contains the active ingredient ibuprofen, which works to reduce swelling, redness, and the sensation of heat in the affected area.
Ibutop gel is used to treat muscle pain resulting from strain or muscle tear, and pain resulting from rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. It is also used to relieve back and neck pain, and sports injuries such as bruises and joint sprains. Ibuprofen is applied to the skin in the affected area and gently massaged until it is completely absorbed. It is usually used two to three times daily as needed and recommended by a doctor. It is distinguished by its local action without the need to take the medication orally, which reduces the risk of side effects on the stomach.
