Description
DICLOFENAC (RHEUMAC) GEL 20GM is a topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel formulated with diclofenac sodium 1% w/w, designed for the localized treatment of pain, inflammation, and swelling in muscles and joints. Its fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula makes it ideal for use in acute injuries and chronic joint conditions.
Active Ingredient:
-
Diclofenac Sodium 1% w/w – a well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Indications:
-
Musculoskeletal pain (e.g., sprains, strains, bruises)
-
Sports injuries and overuse injuries
-
Localized forms of arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis of knees or fingers)
-
Back and neck pain
-
Soft tissue inflammation (e.g., tendonitis, bursitis)
Mechanism of Action:
Diclofenac inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins—substances that mediate pain, inflammation, and swelling. When applied topically, RHEUMAC Gel delivers the active ingredient directly to the affected tissues, reducing discomfort quickly and effectively with minimal systemic absorption.
Directions for Use:

Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily.
-
Massage gently until the gel is fully absorbed.

Wash hands after application unless treating the hands.
-
Do not apply on open wounds, irritated, or infected skin.

-
Not recommended for use in the third trimester of pregnancy or in children unless directed by a physician.
