Can I use FORTEX with my oral pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil®), naproxen sodium (Aleve®), or a COX-2 inhibitor (Celebrex®), for my arthritis pain?
Yes, FORTEX has been designed to be used alone, or with other arthritis or pain medications. Using FORTEX with oral medications provides a dual mode of action… FORTEX relieving pain at the site of the pain, while the oral medication moving throughout the body for the relief. It’s addition to the use of oral pain relievers provides for fast, and additional pain relief. Since FORTEX is a liquid topical and absorbs rapidly, pain relief is usually experienced before oral pain relievers take effect.
