Skin Reactions

Be careful with Ibudol Roll-On:

Severe skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Discontinue treatment with Ibudol Roll-On and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.

Use of Other Medications

Oral forms (e.g., tablets) of Ibudol may cause adverse reactions in the fetus. It is unknown if the same risk applies to Ibudol Roll-On when used on the skin.

Use in Children

Do not use this medication in children under 12 years of age due to the lack of data in this population.

3. How to Use Ibudol Roll-On

Follow the administration instructions exactly as indicated, unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have doubts.

This medication is for cutaneous use only (to be applied only to the skin).

The normal dose is:

Adults and children over 12 years: apply a thin layer of the gel to the painful area 3 to 4 times a day and perform a gentle massage with the ball applicator to facilitate penetration.

Wash your hands after each application. Do not use for more than 7 consecutive days.

If symptoms worsen or persist after 7 days of treatment, or if irritation or redness of the area occurs, consult a doctor.

If you use more Ibudol Roll-On than you should:

Due to its cutaneous use, it is unlikely that cases of intoxication will occur. However, if you have used this medication more than you should, or in case of accidental ingestion, go immediately to a medical center or call the Toxicology Information Service (Tel: 915620420), indicating the medication and the amount ingested, as it may cause: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness, dizziness, spasms (cramps), and low blood pressure.
