Drug Information
8 reviews for Diclofenac Gel
Diclofenac gel is an anti-inflammatory painkiller that you rub into the skin. It relieves pain and swelling from sprains, strains, and arthritis in joints close to the skin, such as knees and hands.
Because only a small amount reaches the blood, it has a lower risk of stomach side effects than tablets.
What is it used for?
- Sprains, strains and sports injuries
- Osteoarthritis in the knees, hands and other small joints
- Muscle and tendon pain
How does it work?
Diclofenac soaks through the skin into the painful area, where it blocks the chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

- Avoid strong sunlight or sunbeds on the treated area.
- Do not cover it with tight or airtight dressings.
- Do not use it in the last 3 months of pregnancy.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.

Like all medicines, Diclofenac Gel can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Redness, itching or a mild rash where applied

Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Blisters or a severe rash
- Wheezing or trouble breathing
- Swelling of the face or lips
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Rub a small amount (about the size of a cherry for small joints, or a walnut for larger areas) gently into the skin over the painful area.
- Use it 3 to 4 times a day.
- Wash your hands after use, unless you are treating your hands.
- Do not use it for more than 2 weeks for injuries, or 3 weeks for arthritis, without advice.
If you miss a dose: Apply it as soon as you remember, then carry on as normal.
If you use too much: If you swallow some gel by mistake, contact a doctor or pharmacist.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
