Fastum Gel belongs to a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) used to treat symptomatic relief of pain in conditions like soft tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, sports injuries, swelling, backache, muscle-tendonitis and rheumatic pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term).
Fastum Gel contains ketoprofen, which works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body involved in producing certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins, that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, it helps relieve pain and swelling.
Use Fastum Gel as recommended. Sometimes, you may experience application site reactions, itching, rash, blisters and dry skin. Most of these side effects of Fastum Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.
Before using Fastum Gel, inform your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. And also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Avoid contact of Fastum Gel with mucous membranes such as eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse with water immediately.
