About Dicloran Gel

Dicloran Gel is used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and pain of osteoarthritis of joints. It reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, thereby improving your ability to move and flex the joint.

Dicloran Gel contains diclofenac, methyl salicylate, linseed oil, and menthol. Dicloran Gel works by first cooling the skin and then warming it up, which interferes with the pain signal transmission through nerves.

Some common side effects of Dicloran Gel are burning, itching, redness, stinging, and dryness on your skin in the place where Dicloran Gel is applied. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Dicloran Gel should be used for skin only, and if it accidentally gets into your eye, mouth, or nose, rinse with water. Dicloran Gel is contraindicated in children below two years of age. In addition, caution must be exercised when treating older children (2-12 years).

Uses of Dicloran Gel

Dicloran Gel is used in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders. The detailed uses of Dicloran Gel are as follows:

  • Pain Relief: Dicloran Gel is commonly used to relieve localised pain such as muscle aches, joint pain, and back pain.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Dicloran Gel helps reduce inflammation in conditions like arthritis or sports injuries, easing discomfort and swelling.

Key Benefits

  • Aids in easing back, joint, and muscle pain brought on by inflammation or injury.
  • Inflammation in the affected area is reduced with diclofenac.
  • The cooling effect of menthol helps relieve pain and discomfort.
  • The warming action of methyl salicylate enhances blood flow and aids in the healing process.
  • Enhances the range of motion and flexibility of muscles and joints.
  • Relieves osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.
  • Speeds up the healing process for sports injuries, sprains, and strains.

Directions for Use

  • Wash your hands before and after using Dicloran Gel .
  • Check the label for directions before using the medicine.
  • Take a small amount of Dicloran Gel on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area as prescribed by your doctor.
  • Avoid contact with eye, ears, nose, and the mouth. If Dicloran Gel comes in contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water immediately.
  • Dicloran Gel is for external use only.

How Dicloran Gel Works

Dicloran Gel contains diclofenac, linseed oil, methyl salicylate, and menthol. • Diclofenac and methyl salicylate work by lowering hormones in the body that cause inflammation and pain. • Linseed oil inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. • Menthol is a soothing and cooling agent which provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels. Together, Dicloran Gel helps relieve mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Lifestyle changes:

  • To increase joint and muscular strength, perform physiotherapy, stretching, and mild exercises.
  • Minimize abrupt movements, hard lifting, and usage of sore joints or muscles.
  • Carrying too much weight puts more strain on joints, particularly the back and knees.
  • To avoid joint and muscle pain and aid in recovery, sit, stand, and work with proper posture.

Physical activity:

  • In addition to promoting recuperation, exercises like yoga, stretching, swimming, and walking assist increase flexibility and decrease stiffness.
  • To lessen muscle strain and stop additional injuries, do some light stretching and warm-up exercises.
  • Avoid doing strenuous or overly demanding exercises that could exacerbate discomfort or postpone recovery; instead, increase activity gradually as comfort levels rise.

Health Queries

I am experiencing pain in my back, hips, and spine after doing yoga. What pain relief medication or ointment should I use to treat this?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

It is very common to experience mild muscle soreness or strain after yoga. For targeted relief, you can apply a topical generic diclofenac gel or a menthol-based ointment to your back and hips. For oral relief, short-term use of ibuprofen (to reduce inflammation) or acetaminophen can help; please take these with food. For now, rest from deep stretches and apply gentle heat to relax the muscles. If your pain is severe, radiates down your legs, or does not improve after a few days, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

My mother is suffering from severe knee joint and leg pain and cannot walk without assistance. What medications or pain relievers can she take to help improve her condition?

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

For temporary relief, over-the-counter options like acetaminophen or anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce pain and swelling. Topical pain-relief gels containing diclofenac can also be applied directly to her knee. However, because her mobility is severely affected, it is very important to have her evaluated by a doctor. They can identify the exact cause (such as osteoarthritis) and safely recommend stronger prescription medications, physical therapy, or assistive devices to help her walk comfortably and safely.

I have pain in my hip and knee joints. What medicine should I take for relief?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

For mild hip and knee joint pain, you can start with over-the-counter pain relievers. Acetaminophen is often a good first option. Alternatively, applying a topical NSAID gel, like diclofenac gel, directly to the painful joints can provide targeted relief with fewer systemic side effects. Oral anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or naproxen can also help reduce inflammation, but please use them cautiously, especially if you have stomach, heart, or kidney concerns. Because joint pain is common and highly treatable, I highly recommend consulting your doctor. They can help determine the exact cause, such as wear-and-tear, and create a safe, long-term management plan tailored just for you.

I have been experiencing wrist pain for the last month, especially while using a computer mouse. One specialist diagnosed it as carpal tunnel syndrome while another disagreed, though wearing a wrist wrap provides significant relief. What medications or pain relief ointments can I use to treat this condition?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

For wrist pain suspected to be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or repetitive strain, you can use over-the-counter oral pain relievers like Ibuprofen (Advil) or Naproxen (Aleve) to help reduce both pain and inflammation. Alternatively, topical anti-inflammatory gels containing diclofenac (such as Voltaren gel) can be applied directly to the wrist to provide targeted relief with fewer systemic side effects. Since the wrist wrap helps, continue wearing it, especially at night and during computer use. I also highly recommend using an ergonomic mouse and taking frequent breaks. Please consult a physician or pharmacist to ensure these medications are safe for you.
