Hi

This stuff works really well for me (see photo). It has anti inflammatories but also something that adds cold so it changes the sensations and works really quickly.

Best thing is it’s available from supermarkets and doesn’t break the bank.

If you use it at night wash your hands after. Otherwise if u rub your eyes with this on your hands it makes your eyes feel weird!

All the best!

UK. It’s about £5 here for 50g tube. It says it’s made in UK by Mentholatum

Trouble is you don’t use the same drug names as us. Says it contains Ibuprofen 5%, Levomenthol 3%

We have the same thing here in the US but it is by prescription only. My insurance doesn't like to pay for it even though I can't ingest any anti inflammatories due to blood clots. I have to fight them every time I need it. It is very expensive here without a prescription... Between$80-100 USD. I was just hoping that things had changed and it was now available here. My friend in Denmark gets it over the counter for around$5 too. The US just likes to overcharge for all meds. Here it is called Voltaran gel or diclofenac gel.

Did you find out if I am allowed to post you this stuff? You can buy drugs online and this stuff is over the counter.

Happy to buy you some and ship it over. I had another look and my local shop sells it for £4 a tube. How about I send you a couple of tubes?

Two tubes plus postage will cost you about £25 I’d think?

If it isn’t illegal I’d cheerfully send you some?

Look into it. I don’t want to get either of us into trouble.

I had another check of the price and I think it’s actually £8 for 50g. If it’s legal I could send you 2 and you could pay me via PayPal?

All the best my friend.
