Topical Diclofenac Gel

for Joint Pain

A topical NSAID gel applied directly to painful joints providing local anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects with lower systemic absorption than oral NSAIDs.

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.

What to watch for

Not suitable for open wounds or broken skin. Less effective for deep joint pain. Do not combine with oral NSAIDs without medical advice.
