Diclofenac ratiopharm pain patches

Diclofenac-ratiopharm pain patches are specially designed for the local short-term treatment of pain.They provide effective help for acute pain caused by sports injuries or unfortunate movements, such as strains, sprains or bruises on the arms, legs or back.

Local effect with many benefits

A big advantage of the Diclofenac ratiopharm pain patches is their targeted effect directly at the location of the pain.The active ingredient is applied exactly where the pain arises.Compared to painkillers, the risk of side effects and interactions is reduced.After sticking, the pain-relieving effect lasts for up to 12 hours, so you can go about your everyday life again without any symptoms.

It is easy to use: a Diclofenac ratiopharm pain patch is only stuck to the painful area twice a day, in the morning and evening.The plaster is flexible and offers a lot of freedom of movement and comfort in everyday life.It can be worn discreetly under clothing and is suitable for adults and teenagers aged 16 and over.

Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using the pain patches if you suffer from or have suffered from bronchial asthma or allergies in the past.You may experience spasm of the bronchial muscles, making it difficult to breathe.If you notice a skin rash that occurs after applying the patch, remove the patch immediately and stop treatment. If you have kidney, heart or liver dysfunction or stomach or intestinal ulcers, intestinal inflammation or bleeding tendencies, you should also consult before use.

Side effects can be reduced by using the lowest dosage for the shortest possible period of time.After removing the patch, avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or UV-radiation to reduce the risk of a photosensitivity reaction.Do not use the pain patches at the same time as other medicines containing diclofenac or other medicines from the group of non-steroidal painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Elderly patients should use the medicine with caution as they are more prone to side effects.The pain patch must not be used on children and adolescents under the age of 16, as there is insufficient experience for this age group.
