Feldene Gel 25g: Fast Relief for Joint and Muscle Pain

Feldene Gel is a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to provide fast, localized relief from pain and inflammation. Formulated with Piroxicam (0.5%), this gel is absorbed directly through the skin to target the source of discomfort without the higher systemic absorption associated with oral medications. It is a popular choice in Nigeria for those seeking sharp relief from body aches without the side effects of swallowing tablets.

Key Benefits of Feldene Gel

• Targeted Pain Relief: Specifically formulated for application to joints and muscles.
• Reduces Inflammation: Helps manage swelling and redness in affected areas.
• Non-Greasy Formula: The clear gel is easily absorbed into the skin and doesn't stain clothes.
• Fast Action: Provides cooling relief shortly after application.

Common Uses

Feldene Gel is widely used for the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis: Particularly in superficial joints like the knees or hands.
• Sports Injuries: Effective for sprains, strains, and soft tissue damage.
• Back Pain: Provides relief for acute lower backaches and waist pain.
• Tendonitis: Reduces pain in inflamed tendons.

How to Apply Feldene Gel

For best results, apply approximately 1 gram (about 3cm) of the gel to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily. Gently rub the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated.

Important Information

While Feldene Gel has lower systemic absorption than tablets, users should still consult with a pharmacist or doctor if they have a history of NSAID sensitivity or are pregnant. If you have any concerns about skin irritation or usage, contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
