Preparation and Usage
Adults and children 14 years and over: The gel should be rubbed gently into the skin 3-4 times daily.

Therefore the maximum weekly dose is 112g.
For arthritis pain it may be necessary to apply the gel for up to 7 days (to allow its effect to build up on the joint) before an improvement in pain is noticed. The gel can be used for up to 14 days under pharmacy supervision.
