Overview Dpfenac 1.16% Gel

Topical diclofenac gel (1.16%) provides pain relief and reduces inflammation in muscles and joints. This gel effectively treats various musculoskeletal injuries including sprains, strains, and contusions, and is also suitable for conditions like tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow) and osteoarthritis. Apply the gel 2 to 4 times daily to affected areas, depending on severity, rubbing it in gently and evenly. Avoid excessive application and refrain from bandaging or covering the treated skin. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects include skin rash, itching, redness, or burning. A blistering rash may indicate a serious allergic reaction; seek immediate medical attention if this occurs. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those already using oral diclofenac or similar NSAIDs, should not use this gel.
