Corprofen: Usage
 Corprofen
is a topically applied anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving
cream. It is used to temporarily relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, neck and low back pain caused by strain
or sprain, whiplash, muscle pain and joint pain, and some types
of nerve pain. Unlike oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs), it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and
is less likely to cause stomach upset, ulcer, and bleeding.
As with any medication, whether obtained over-the-counter
or by prescription, keep in mind Corprofen is a drug. Prior
to use, the patient should discuss product use with their
treating physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, or healthcare
professional (hereinafter referred to as "healthcare professional").
Administration and Dosage
- Corprofen is for external use on the skin (clean skin).
- Gently massage a thin film of Corprofen to pain sites
1 or 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.

the recommending healthcare professional.
