Instructions for use for DICLOX forte 20 mg/g gel, 100 g

Diclox forte is an analgesic gel with the active ingredient diclofenac, which is used for the symptomatic treatment of pain in acute strains, sprains or bruises resulting from blunt trauma. It can also be used for inflammation in the muscle and joint system. The gel is manufactured by ratiopharm GmbH and contains a high dosage of 20 mg diclofenac per gram of gel. Compared to other diclofenac gels, this is twice the dosage. The gel is applied externally and works directly on the affected area of the body to relieve pain and fight inflammation. It can be applied twice a day and has a quick effect. Side effects can include skin reactions such as itching, redness and rash. There are some contraindications to be aware of, so a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted before use. The gel should not be used in children under 14 years of age, in cases of hypersensitivity to the ingredients or in cases of chronic respiratory diseases. The duration of use should be discussed with a doctor and use should be discontinued if symptoms or allergic reactions persist. There are no special storage conditions for the gel.
