The maximum total daily dose is 20 g cream corresponding to 1 000 mg ibuprofen.
• Children and adolescents under 14 years of age: There is no experience of use in children and adolescents under 14 years of age, therefore Dolgit acute® pain cream must not be used in this age group.

In the case of severe bruising and sprains, it may be useful to apply an airtight bandage at the start of treatment. Increased penetration of the active ingredient through the skin can be achieved by using iontophoresis (a special form of electrotherapy). Dolgit akut® pain cream should be applied under the cathode (negative pole). The current intensity should be 0.1 - 0.5 mA per 5 cm² electrode surface, the application time approx. 10 minutes. Simultaneous treatment with ibuprofen preparations for oral use is possible.
