Fastum Gel

Fastum Gel is a topical medication used to relieve pain and inflammation. It belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is commonly used to treat muscle and joint pain, including back pain and sprains.

Ketoprofen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes that play a role in the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing the levels of these substances, Fastum Gel helps alleviate pain and reduce swelling and redness in the affected area. It is considered effective in treating conditions such as arthritis and muscle pain, providing quick relief for patients.
