How it works
Diclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes at the application site, reducing local prostaglandin synthesis and inflammatory cascades in the joint and surrounding tissue.
Not suitable for open wounds or broken skin. Less effective for deep joint pain. Do not combine with oral NSAIDs without medical advice.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

โSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.โ
