About Dicloplast Patch

Dicloplast Patch is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, contusions (bruises), post-traumatic pain, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, or dislocations.

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.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and a burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, 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.
