Description
DICLOFENAC (CLONAC) GEL 20G is a topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory gel containing diclofenac sodium 1% w/w, a well-established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This formulation is designed for external use to provide localized relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders.
Active Ingredient:
-
Diclofenac Sodium 1% w/w
Indications:

Muscle pain and stiffness

Joint pain due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
-
Sports injuries (e.g., sprains, strains, contusions)

Mechanism of Action:
Diclofenac acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing the formation of prostaglandins—chemical mediators involved in pain and inflammation. Applied topically, CLONAC Gel penetrates the skin to reach inflamed tissues beneath, offering targeted pain relief with minimal systemic absorption and fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral NSAIDs.
