Overview Diclotal 1% Gel

Topical Diclofenac 1% gel effectively alleviates joint and muscle pain and inflammation. This gel offers relief from various injuries including sprains, strains, and contusions, as well as conditions like tendonitis (for example, tennis elbow) and osteoarthritis. Apply the gel to affected areas two to four times daily, depending on symptom severity, rubbing it in gently and evenly. Avoid excessive application and do not bandage or cover the treated skin. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects include skin rash, itching, redness, or burning.
