Side Effects

No common side effects listed.

Diclonic Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac diethylamine, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Menthol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil is a plant-based oil which further reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation at the site of application. It also increases the penetration of Diclofenac diethylamine through the skin. Methyl Salicylate produces a cooling effect on the skin.

Diclonic Gel is prescribed to get relief from pain. Apply 2-3 times daily or as prescribed by the doctor. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, and rinse thoroughly in case of accidental contact or seek medical help in case of swallowing. Avoid applying Diclonic Gel right after bathing or shaving. Consult your doctor if you get excessive skin irritation or other unwanted effects.
