FASTUM GEL (KETOPROFEN 2.5%)


What the Product Is

Fastum Gel is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed for topical application. It contains Ketoprofen, a powerful pain-relieving agent that is absorbed through the skin to reach the site of inflammation. The gel is formulated to be non-greasy and has a cooling effect upon application, providing localized relief without the systemic side effects often associated with oral painkillers.


What it Treats

This product is primarily indicated for localized pain and inflammation. It is used for:

  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Relief for sprains, strains, and painful bruising.

  • Joint Pain: Easing discomfort in the knees, wrists, and ankles caused by minor arthritis.

  • Muscular Rheumatism: Soothing aches in the muscles and connective tissues.

  • Tendonitis: Reducing inflammation in tendons (e.g., "tennis elbow").

  • Back and Neck Pain: Relief for acute localized stiffness or lumbago.


Key Active Ingredient

  • Ketoprofen (2.5%): A potent analgesic that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals in the body responsible for pain and swelling at the site of an injury.


Dosage and Administration

  • Application: Apply a thin layer of gel (about 3 to 5 cm depending on the size of the area).

  • Frequency: Apply 1 to 2 times daily.

  • Duration: Use should generally be limited to 7 days to avoid skin sensitivities.


How to Use

  1. Prep: Clean and dry the affected area.

  2. Massage: Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

  3. Cleanse: Wash your hands immediately after use (unless your hands are the area being treated).

  4. Covering: Do not use airtight (occlusive) bandages over the gel.


Important Precautions (Photosensitivity)

  • Sunlight Warning: Ketoprofen can cause severe skin reactions when exposed to sunlight (even on cloudy days) or UV light (tanning beds).

  • Protection: The treated area must be covered by clothing during treatment and for 2 weeks after stopping the medication.

  • Sensitive Skin: Stop use immediately if you notice any skin rash, redness, or burning.

  • Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin, other NSAIDs, or fenofibrate (a cholesterol medication).


Who it's Suitable For

  • Indicated For: Adults and children over 12 years of age.

  • Not Suitable For: Individuals with broken skin, eczema, or those in their third trimester of pregnancy.


FAQ

Q: Can I use Fastum Gel and then go to the beach?

A: No. You must keep the treated area completely covered with clothing to avoid a "photodermatitis" reaction. This protection must continue for 14 days after your last application.

Q: Is it better than oral tablets?

A: For localized injuries like a sprained ankle, the gel provides high concentrations of medicine exactly where you need it with a much lower risk of stomach upset compared to tablets.

Q: Does it have a strong odor?

A: Fastum Gel has a mild, pleasant scent that fades quickly, making it more discreet than many traditional heat balms.
