Fastum Gel is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in a clear, non-greasy gel base. It contains Ketoprofen, a powerful agent that penetrates the skin to reach the underlying site of pain and inflammation. The "Big Size" (typically 100g) is ideal for managing chronic conditions or treating larger areas of the body, providing extended relief over several applications.
This product is primarily indicated for the local relief of pain and inflammation. It is highly effective for:
Musculoskeletal Pain: Relief from backaches, neck pain, and muscle strains.
Joint Pain: Managing symptoms of osteoarthritis and minor rheumatic conditions.
Sports Injuries: Treating sprains, bruises, and painful swellings from physical activity.
Tendonitis: Reducing inflammation in tendons (such as tennis elbow).
Frequency: Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1 to 2 times daily.
Amount: The amount used should be adjusted to the size of the area being treated (e.g., a 5cm–10cm strip of gel is usually sufficient for a knee or lower back).
Application: Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Wash your hands thoroughly immediately after use.
To ensure safety and avoid skin reactions, follow these critical steps:
Avoid Sunlight: The most important precaution with Fastum Gel is to protect treated areas from sunlight (even on cloudy days) and UV light (tanning beds) during treatment and for two weeks after stopping. Ketoprofen can cause severe skin photosensitivity reactions.
Cover Up: Wear clothing that covers the treated area when outdoors.
Do Not Occlude: Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages or "heat patches," as this can increase the risk of skin irritation.
Intact Skin Only: Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin, rashes, or near the eyes and mouth.
Indicated For: Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.
Contraindications:
Do not use if you have a known allergy to Ketoprofen, Aspirin, or other NSAIDs.
Not for use by individuals who have experienced asthma or skin allergies after taking similar medicines.
Pregnancy: Should not be used during the last trimester of pregnancy and generally avoided throughout pregnancy unless directed by a doctor.
Q: Can I use Fastum Gel and take Ibuprofen tablets together?
A: It is generally advised not to combine topical NSAIDs with oral ones without medical supervision, as it increases the risk of side effects like stomach irritation.
Q: Why must I stay out of the sun?
A: Ketoprofen reacts with UV light. If the treated skin is exposed to the sun, it can cause a red, itchy, or blistering rash that may be severe.
Q: Does it have a strong smell?
A: Fastum Gel has a pleasant, mild fragrance and a cooling effect upon application, and it does not leave a sticky residue on clothing.
