Diclofenac Gel IP 30 g – Product Description

Product Name: Diclofenac Gel IP 30 g

What it Contains:

Diclofenac Gel is a topical formulation containing Diclofenac Sodium as the active ingredient. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Overview:

Diclofenac Gel is specifically formulated to be applied directly to the skin over painful or inflamed joints and muscles. Because it is topical, it delivers the active medicine directly to the affected area, helping relieve symptoms while minimizing systemic exposure.

Uses / What It Does:

Diclofenac Gel is used to help relieve:

• Muscle pain
• Joint pain (such as from osteoarthritis)
• Sprains and strains
• Back pain
• Bruises and localized inflammation

It works by reducing inflammation and pain in the tissues under the skin where applied.

How to Use:

• Wash and dry the affected area before application.
• Apply a thin layer of gel to the painful area 2–4 times daily as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Gently rub the gel in until it disappears.
• Do not cover with airtight dressings unless advised by your doctor.
• Wash hands after application (unless treating hands).

Important Usage Notes:

• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply on open wounds, infected or broken skin.
• Do not use heat (e.g., hot packs) on the area after applying the gel unless your doctor says it’s okay.

Benefits:

• Targets pain locally
• Reduces inflammation in muscles and joints
• Often better tolerated systemically than oral NSAIDs

Safety & Precautions:

• Stop use and consult a doctor if you develop skin rash, irritation, or severe discomfort.
• Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other NSAIDs.
• Not recommended for prolonged use without medical advice.
