FAQs

Fastum Gel contains ketoprofen, a pain killer that 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 in relieving pain and swelling.

In rare cases, you may be prescribed painkiller drugs when patches are inadequate to control pain management. However, take painkiller drugs in addition to patches only if prescribed by your doctor.

Avoid concomitant use of Fastum Gel with other topical products such as cosmetics, sunscreens, lotions, moisturizers, insect-repellent creams, and other gels.

Do not use Fastum Gel on open wounds, wounded skin, or shingles blisters that have not healed.
