applied to, and absorbed through, the skin.
• It is for the treatment of the following conditions
involving the musculoskeletal system:

• rheumatic or muscular pain
• sprains
• strains
• neuralgia.

It is also for pain relief in common arthritic
conditions.

Like all medicines, Ibuspray can cause side effects,
although not everybody gets them.
Occasionally, mild skin rashes, itching or irritation
can sometimes occur at the site of application. If
this is unacceptable, or persists, stop using the
product and tell your doctor or pharmacist.
Very rarely, the following side effects can happen
with ibuprofen, although these are extremely
uncommon with products such as Ibuspray that
are applied to the skin.
If you experience any of the following, stop
using Ibuspray immediately and tell your
doctor:
• Allergic reactions (particularly in people who
have a history of asthma or allergic problems),
such as:
• unexplained runny nose and watery eyes, or,
in more serious cases asthma or aggravated
asthma involving breathing difficulties,
wheezing or chest tightness;
• generalised allergic skin reactions involving
itch, swelling, inflammation, redness and
perhaps blistering and light sensitivity;
• other more serious generalised allergic
reactions possibly involving unexplained
nausea and vomiting, swollen eyes, face or
tongue, difficulty swallowing, dizziness or
light-headedness. Unconsciousness could
perhaps occur in the most serious cases.
• Kidney problems (particularly in people who
have a history of kidney disease), such as:
• decreased urine volume;
• loss of appetite / weight loss;
• swelling to abdomen.
• Problems with the digestive system
(particularly in people who have a history of

HOW TO USE IBUSPRAY
Do not spray near flames, burning cigarettes,
electric heaters or similar ignition sources.

For adults, the elderly and children over
12 years old:
• Use the spray up to three to four times a day,
or as often as advised by your doctor.
• Holding the bottle upright or upside-down,
approximately 4 to 6 inches away from the skin,
spray over the affected area.
• Every 2 to 3 sprays, gently massage the spray
into the skin over and around the painful area.
• The exact amount that you need to apply will
vary, depending on the extent and severity of
your condition, but normally 5 to 10 sprays
(1 to 2 ml) should be enough.
• Wash hands after use, unless treating them.
• Carry on using the spray in this way until your
condition gets better (you may find you need
to use it for a few weeks, and your doctor may
want you to continue using it for longer than
this).
• If your symptoms worsen or continue for more
than a few weeks, discuss this with your doctor
before continuing treatment

Do not use Ibuspray:
• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to
ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of
Ibuspray
• if you are asthmatic, or suffer from rhinitis
(allergic runny nose) or urticaria (hives) and
have ever had a bad reaction to aspirin,
ibuprofen or other NSAIDs in the past;
• if you are pregnant or breast-feeding;
• on broken, damaged, infected or diseased skin.
Before applying this product for the first time,
make sure it is suitable for you to use:
Because Ibuspray is delivered through the skin,
directly over the painful area, there is less risk of
the complications that sometimes occur when
ibuprofen (or a similar anti-inflammatory painkiller)
is taken by mouth. However, in rare cases you
may be at risk:
• if you have a stomach ulcer (also called
a peptic or gastric ulcer);
• if you have ever had kidney problems;
• if you have ever had asthma;
• if you have ever had a bad reaction to
aspirin or ibuprofen taken by mouth.
If any of the above apply to you, only use
this product on advice from your doctor or
pharmacist.

Using other medicines
• Interaction between Ibuspray and blood
pressure lowering drugs and anticoagulants
(medicines that stop blood clotting) is possible,
in theory, although very unlikely. If you would
like more advice about this, speak to your
doctor or pharmacist.
• If you are also taking aspirin or other NSAIDs
by mouth, discuss this beforehand with your
doctor or pharmacist because these may
increase the risk of undesirable effects.
