Diclofenac belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Diclofenac relieves the signs and symptoms of pain, swelling, and inflammation caused by:
• Pain from the backache • Headaches
• Aching muscles • Upset stomach
• Fever
• Inflammation of the lining of the nose, gums, and eyes.
If you are treating inflammation of the lining of the nose, contact your doctor or local doctor.
Always use the gel regularly to get the most benefit from it.
Diclofenac may also be used to treat other conditions, particularly those in which an imbalance of certain chemicals (such as sebums) has occurred. This can be a sign of an allergic reaction or other factors.
Diclofenac can cause a serious condition called lupus, which is a sudden increase in the amount of pain or inflammation that is felt when the body is unable to move or relax.
You should be careful when using diclofenac gel if you have had a serious allergic reaction (such as hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat).
