Is an effective, safe topical ibuprofen made at home by grinding up a 600
mg pill and mixing the powder into some kind of oil, lotion or other
liquid? If this process works to make an effective topical
anti-inflammatory drug, what liquid is best to use? Castor oil or
something else?

Is a lower strength of ibuprofen better <for this homemade topical> than
the 600 mg one I mentioned?

Thanks

You can purchase several strengths of pharmaceutical ibuprophen gel here.

I've never tried the ibuprofen gel but I had good response from diclofenac
gel, which is a similar topical NSAID. AW
