What is doc® Ibuprofen pain gel?

The doc® Ibuprofen pain gel is a medicine for external use that helps with inflammation-related joint and back pain.It contains the active ingredient ibuprofen, which has an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect without drying out the skin.No prescription is required for this product.

The gel can be used for a variety of ailments, including back and joint pain caused by inflammation, strains, sprains and bruises, as well as swelling and inflammation of the ligaments, tendons and joints.The active ingredient ibuprofen reaches the site of pain via the skin and inhibits the formation of pain and inflammatory messengers.

This is how the ibuprofen ointment works

The causes of back and joint pain are varied and can range from sports or accident injuries to irritated tendons or inflamed bursae.The doc® Ibuprofen pain gel uses innovative microgel technology to deliver the active ingredient quickly and in high concentration into the deeper tissue layers.

The effect of the gel unfolds in three phases: First, it cools the affected area, then the active ingredient ibuprofen penetrates the tissue and finally relieves the pain and inflammation.The excipient dimethyl isosorbide supports rapid penetration of the skin layers.

Local application for a targeted effect

In contrast to painkillers, which distribute the active ingredient throughout the body, the doc® Ibuprofen pain gel allows targeted application directly to the painful areas.This protects the organism and reduces the active ingredient required for the same effect.

The dissolved active ingredient ibuprofen inhibits inflammation and relieves pain

The active ingredient ibuprofen inhibits the formation of prostaglandins, which play an important role in the transmission of pain and the development of inflammation.By inhibiting these tissue hormones, pain is combated in two ways: pain transmission is reduced and inflammation is combated.

The doc® Ibuprofen pain gel penetrates the body quickly and with a high concentration of active ingredients.The fully dissolved active ingredient is incorporated into tiny micelles, which facilitates penetration into the tissue and can relieve deeper pain.

Long-lasting effect through storage of the active ingredient in the skin tissue

The doc® Ibuprofen pain gel impresses with its long-lasting effect.The active ingredient ibuprofen is stored well in the subcutaneous fatty tissue and forms a depot of active ingredients that ensures sustainable and long-term effectiveness.

The application is uncomplicated: a 4 to 10 centimeter long gel strand can be applied to the affected area up to three times a day and rubbed carefully.The microgel inhibits pain and inflammation and also has a pleasant cooling effect.

Area of application

The doc® Ibuprofen pain gel has a targeted effect and relieves pain.It can be used for swelling and inflammation of the soft tissues near the joints, such as bursitis, tendonitis and tendonitis, as well as for sports and accident injuries such as bruises, sprains or strains.

The gel works exactly where the pain is, without putting unnecessary strain on the organism.

Mode of action

The special thing about the gel is that the pain-relieving active ingredient penetrates the skin particularly quickly and in high concentration after application.The fully dissolved active ingredient ibuprofen is incorporated into nanometer-sized micelles, which promotes penetration into the deeper tissue.

The active ingredient accumulates in the inflamed tissue and works effectively exactly where it is needed.In addition, ibuprofen accumulates in fatty tissue, which leads to a sustainable and long-lasting effect.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and has both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.It inhibits the formation of pain and inflammatory messengers, which leads to a reduction in the sensation of pain.
