for Lower Back Pain
Anti-inflammatory pain relief that addresses both the pain and inflammatory components of back pain. More effective than paracetamol for this condition.
How it works
COX enzyme inhibition reduces prostaglandins that sensitise nerve endings and drive inflammation in the paraspinal tissues and disc.
What to watch for
Short-term use only. Take with food to reduce GI side effects. Avoid with kidney disease, peptic ulcer, or cardiovascular conditions.
