Anyone who has reacted to aspirin or NSAIDs in these ways should not use an anti-inflammatory gel. Please speak to a pharmacist about a different option.

Does the intended user have asthma? No Yes

Anti-inflammatory painkillers can occasionally worsen asthma. A pharmacist will check it is suitable.

Do not apply to broken, infected, or rashy skin. A pharmacist will advise.

Is the intended user already taking an anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID) or aspirin by mouth? No Yes

Using a gel as well adds to the total dose. A pharmacist will check this is okay.

Is the intended user pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding? No Yes, or possibly

Do not use this gel if the intended user is allergic to any of its ingredients. Please speak to a pharmacist.

Do you understand to use it on the affected area only, to wash your hands after, to protect the treated skin from strong sunlight (some gels make skin sensitive to the sun), not to cover it with an airtight dressing, and to see a pharmacist or GP if there's no improvement in 7 days or the injury is severe? Yes, I understand No / I am not sure

If the pain does not improve within 7 days, or the injury is severe (a lot of swelling, or you can't use the limb), please see a pharmacist or GP.
