Flamex® Gel^®

Flamex® Gel is the preparation of Ibuprofen which is a phenylpropionic acid derivative which exerts its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects directly in inflamed tissues underlying the site of application, mainly by inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis. Because it is formulated in an aqueous or alcoholic gel, the preparation also exerts a soothing and cooling effect when applied to the affected area.
