How Diclodoc Gel works:

Diclodoc Gel unites four active agents: diclofenac, linseed oil, menthol, and methyl salicylate. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate, both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), act by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators responsible for pain and the associated redness and swelling. Linseed oil, a botanical extract, offers supplementary anti-inflammatory benefits and enhances local blood flow, simultaneously facilitating diclofenac's dermal absorption. Menthol provides a soothing, cooling sensation upon topical application.

What if you forget to take Diclodoc Gel :

Should you forget a Diclodoc Gel application, use it as quickly as you remember. However, if your next scheduled application is imminent, omit the missed one and resume your usual dosing regimen. Avoid applying a double dose.
