Before using Ibuleve Spray
Make sure it is appropriate for you to use Ibuleve Spray.
Because Ibuleve Spray is applied to the skin, directly over the painful area, there is less risk of the complications that sometimes arise when ibuprofen (or similar anti-inflammatory painkillers) are taken by mouth.
However, there are certain categories of patients who may be at risk in rare cases.
Do not use Ibuleve Spray in any of the following cases without first seeking medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist:
- If you have ever suffered from asthma.
- If you have a stomach ulcer (also called a peptic or gastric ulcer).
- If you have ever suffered from kidney problems.
- If you have are already taking aspirin or other painkillers.
For your safety.
Warnings:
Flammable.
Do not spray near flames, electric heaters or similar objects.
Ibuleve Spray is for external use only.
Ibuleve spray is not normally recommended for use on children under the age of 12 years, unless instructed by a doctor.
Interaction between Ibuleve Spray and blood pressure lower drugs is theoretically possible, although very unlikely.
If Ibuleve Spray gets in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with warm water. Contact a doctor if irritation persists.
Where aspirin or other NSAID tablets are taken concurrently, it is important to bear in mind that these may increase the incidence of undesirable effects. If you would like more advice, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist.
Any overdose with ibuprofen applied to the skin is extremely unlikely. In the case of severe overdose (for example if the spray is accidentally swallowed) symptoms include headache, vomiting, drowsiness and low blood pressure, and the patient should be taken to a doctor or hospital straight away.
Complications can occur in patients with a history of kidney problems. Additionally, gastrointestinal side effects, such as abdominal pain, nausea and digestive problems, are theoretically possible in rare cases. If you have any undesirable effects when using Ibuleve Spray, or if you are in any doubt about your treatment, you should talk to your doctor or a pharmacist immediatly. |
