Diclofen Cremogel: Anti-inflammatory agent for external use

Diclofen Cremogel is a drug intended for external use for various inflammatory diseases of joints, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues. It belongs to the group of anti-inflammatory drugs that are derivatives of phenylacetic acid. The main active ingredient in the cream gel is diclofenac sodium.

Diclofen Cremogel is manufactured by United Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Co Ltd in Jordan. It is available under various trade names such as Allovoran, Almiral, Apo-Diklo, Betaren, and others. The drug is presented in the form of a cream gel, which ensures its convenience and ease of use.

Diclofen Cremogel has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-edematous effects. It is effective for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism, ankylosing spondylitis, chronic gouty arthritis, degenerative joint diseases (including deforming osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis), localized forms of soft tissue rheumatism, as well as for pain associated with injuries, operations or inflammatory processes.

However, like any medicine, Diclofen Cremogel has contraindications and side effects. It is not recommended for hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other drugs, hematopoietic disorders, stomach and duodenal ulcers, as well as in children under 6 years of age and in the last trimester of pregnancy.

Side effects of Diclofen Cremogel may include gastrointestinal disorders such as gastralgia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, dyspepsia and flatulence. Side effects from the central nervous system, such as headache, dizziness and fatigue, are also possible. In rare cases, hematopoietic disorders such as thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and hemolytic anemia may occur. When cream gel is applied topically, skin irritation, rashes, itching and burning may occur.

You must be careful when using Diclofen Cremogel simultaneously with other medications. It may interact with lithium, digoxin, anticoagulants, diuretics, antihypertensives, and other drugs. Before starting to use Diclofen Cremogel, it is recommended to consult your doctor or pharmacist to avoid possible problems with combined use with other medications.

It is important to follow the instructions for use of Diclofen Cremogel. It is usually applied to the affected area in a thin layer and massaged until the cream is completely absorbed.
