About Dicloplast Patch

Dicloplast Patch belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with tennis elbow, arthritis, scapular inflammation, tendovaginitis, peritendinitis, swelling and pain after trauma, and myalgia. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments.

Dicloplast Patch contains Diclofenac diethylamine, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical, prostaglandin. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced; this helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as application site reactions like itching, redness, rash and dryness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Dicloplast Patch is for external use only. Notify your doctor if you have had any recent heart surgery. Consult a doctor before using Dicloplast Patch if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not apply Dicloplast Patch to open wounds, cuts, scrapes, or damaged skin. Avoid using Dicloplast Patch if you are during the perioperative period in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
