Review: Effective - This is effective for me for foot arch pain. If your stomach is empty you might also consider adding two ibuprofen lysine tablets because they have a very fast and high peak effect that's good to help to quickly reduce pain. If your stomach isn't empty they are the same as ordinary ibuprofen tablets so don't waste your money then.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this better than voltarol?**
A: In my experience I have found Ibuleve to be better than Voltarol.   It is easy to apply and if you follow the instructions and apply it 3 or 4 times a day it provides good pain relief and improvement with muscle strain. 
    I would recommend it

**Q: How quickly does it work?  Minutes, hours or days?**
A: For arthritis in my neck & shoulders; I generally find it starts working within 10-15 minutes and after 30 mins it doesn’t really reduce pain any more. I also find it starts to wear off after 2-3 hours and I need to reapply.

**Q: Has anyone found this to be very watery when it comes out of the tube, enough for it to drip off fingers and also a foul smell?**
A: Used it once, was not impressed.
Prefer deep heat,but it has a pungent smell.

**Q: Does this product dry quickly or does it stay sticky?**
A: If you rub Ibuleve Max in well and leave it for just a few minutes, it will be dry. It has no smell and is the best rub in pain relief on the market. I wouldn`t be without it.
