Contraindication Notes:
Known hypersensitivity to any part of the preparation.
Diclofenac Diethylamine is systemically absorbed through the skin; it inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thus reducing the formation of PGE2. Moreover, it also increases the uptake of Arachidonic acid into the cellullar pool. Menthol is a vasodilator. It dilates the blood vessels, produces a feeling of coolness and produces analgesia. Methyl salicylate is a known anti-inflammatory agent.
Usually well tolerated. Extremely low frequency of hypersensitivity reactions.
The safety of this gel has not been established during pregnancy. There are no well-controlled studies of diclofenac in pregnant women.
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Stop use and ask a doctor if condition worsens or does not improve within 7 days. Keep out of the reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison control center right away.
