Diclosil Gel

Overview Diclosil Gel

Topical Diclosil Gel provides pain relief by addressing inflammation. It's indicated for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis, as well as muscle and back pain stemming from inflammation. Application should be strictly external, as directed by your physician. Apply a thin layer to affected areas using clean, dry hands, avoiding eyes, nose, mouth, and broken skin. Rinse thoroughly with cool water if accidental contact occurs. Minor side effects, including burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site, are possible but usually subside. Persistent or worsening side effects warrant medical attention. While unlikely to interact with other medications applied topically, inform your doctor about all current medications and pre-existing health conditions. Seek medical advice before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How Diclosil Gel works:

Diclofenac, linseed oil, menthol, and methyl salicylate combine in Diclosil Gel. This formulation utilizes the anti-inflammatory actions of the NSAIDs diclofenac and methyl salicylate, which inhibit the production of pain and inflammation-inducing chemical mediators. Linseed oil, a botanical extract, enhances local blood flow and diminishes inflammation, simultaneously facilitating diclofenac's dermal absorption. Menthol imparts a soothing, cooling sensation to the skin.

What if you forget to take Diclosil Gel :

Should you forget a Diclosil Gel application, apply it promptly. However, if your next scheduled application is imminent, omit the missed dose and resume your usual regimen. Avoid applying a double dose.
