How Does it Work
Ibuprofen 20% topical Lipoderm is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat general pain and fever. The active ingredient ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative that works by blocking the body's production of certain prostaglandins, which are naturally occurring hormones that decrease inflammation and reduce pain. By blocking these substances, ibuprofen works to reduce inflammation, fever, and pain.
Ibuprofen 20% topical Lipoderm is applied to the skin as an ointment. Upon application, ibuprofen is absorbed through the skin, where it enters the bloodstream and is transported around the body. The ibuprofen is then able to interact with cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for triggering the production of prostaglandins. By blocking these enzymes, ibuprofen is able to reduce inflammation, fever, and pain.
Ibuprofen 20% topical Lipoderm is an effective and safe treatment for general pain and fever. While it may cause mild side effects such as redness and itching at the site of application, these effects typically resolve within a few days of use. With regular use, patients can expect to see significant relief from their symptoms.
Other Uses
Ibuprofen 20% Topical Lipoderm can be useful in treating inflammation, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, athletic injury, and other conditions. The combination of Ibuprofen and Lipoderm helps reduce muscle discomfort and improve mobility by providing a soothing effect to the affected area. The topical formulation also allows for localized application of Ibuprofen and can provide targeted, fast-acting relief for muscle tension and pain. Additionally, this formulation offers a safe and effective alternative to oral medications and injections, making it a viable option for people who wish to avoid systemic side effects.
