Fastum Gel 2.5% (50g) – Topical Pain Relief Gel with Ketoprofen for Muscle, Joint & Back Pain

Description:

Fastum Gel 2.5% is a fast-acting topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel containing Ketoprofen, designed to relieve muscle pain, joint stiffness, inflammation, and sports injuries.

It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals responsible for pain and swelling. The gel’s non-greasy, quickly absorbed formula provides localized relief directly at the site of pain—without the side effects associated with oral painkillers.

Fastum Gel is ideal for sprains, muscle strains, backache, neck pain, arthritis, and sports injuries.
