Diclofenac gel 100g (Diclofenac) Sandoz

Manufacturer: Sandoz
Pharmaceutical name: Diclofenac
Pack: 1 tube (100 g)

Diclofenac gel is used to treat a certain skin condition (actinic keratoses). Diclofenac gel is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Use Diclofenac gel on the skin only. Gently apply enough gel to cover the affected skin well, usually 2 times daily or as directed by your doctor. Diclofenac gel is usually applied for 60 to 90 days. Wash your hands after using, unless you are using Diclofenac gel to treat the hands. Do not apply Diclofenac gel in or around the eyes, open skin wounds, or infected/scraped/burned skin. If you do get gel in those areas, flush with plenty of water.

Use Diclofenac gel regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. It may take up to 30 days after finishing the medication for the skin to completely heal.

Do not use Diclofenac gel if: you are allergic to any ingredient in Diclofenac gel; you have had a severe allergic reaction (e.g., severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties, dizziness) to another NSAID (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib) or aspirin.

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
