Overview Dilofen Gel
Joint and muscle pain relief, along with swelling reduction, is provided by ArthriGel. Effective for sprains, strains, bruises, tendonitis (including tennis elbow), and osteoarthritis, ArthriGel can be applied two to four times daily to affected areas, depending on severity. Gentle, even application to the skin is crucial, ensuring complete absorption. Avoid excessive use and covering the treated area. While generally safe, minor skin reactions like rash, itching, redness, or burning may occur; a blistering rash warrants immediate medical attention as it could indicate a serious allergic response. ArthriGel is contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and should not be used concurrently with oral diclofenac or similar NSAIDs.
