Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel for Targeted Arthritis Pain Relief 1% 100g

Description

Cipla Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel, 1% is an original prescription strength over-the-counter (OTC) medication formulated to provide targeted relief from localized arthritis and joint pain. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to be applied directly to the skin over specific joints, delivering therapeutic relief at the source of pain while keeping systemic body absorption low.

• Active Ingredient: Diclofenac sodium 1% (equivalent to 0.93% diclofenac), which functions as a localized arthritis pain reliever.
• Mechanism of Action: It penetrates the skin to target and reduce pain-producing prostaglandins directly within joint tissues, easing swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. 
• Packaging Size: Available in a 100 g (3.53 oz) net weight tube.
• Target Treatment Areas: It is indicated for the temporary relief of arthritis pain exclusively in joint areas amenable to topical treatment:
  • Upper Body: Hands, wrists, and elbows.
  • Lower Body: Feet, ankles, and knees.

• Therapeutic Timeline: This medication is intended for daily treatment and may take up to 7 days to begin working for arthritis discomfort, as it does not offer immediate, instantaneous pain relief.

• Application Limit: It should be applied topically up to 4 times daily on no more than 2 body areas simultaneously. Always use the dosing card typically provided in the box to measure the precise amount.
• Exclusions: It is strictly intended for external use only on clean, intact skin. It is not formulated for immediate relief of acute injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, bruises, or sports injuries.
