Diclo Gel

I have been prescribed diclofenac gel and was wondering if there are any side effects. I was given this as oral nsaids are very hard on my stomach. Also, is this beneficial for a condition called Trigger finger? ## It can cause the same side effects as other NSAIDs, however, since it is topical, your body doesn't tend to absorb as much of it, so this prevents these problems for most people. It can generally help with any condition involving pain and inflammation, however, as with any drug, it doesn't work for everyone. As with any medication, the only thing you can really do is try it and see if it helps. ## If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know. ## To Verwon, Thank you for the input. So far the diclofenac gel seems to help with the inflammation an...

I need to find a substitute for Diclosenez gel. My insurance denied me this med.

Can I use both Diclofenac (tablet) and Voltaren (gel) safely at the same time for back pain? ## No, they both contain the same active ingredient, Diclofenac, so you should only use one or the other. The FDA warns that these gels could cause side effects, such as skin redness, irritation. flaking, burning, and headache. How much has your doctor told you to use?

5f-diclo3/gaba6/lido2prilo2% ## Hello, I am a little confused about what medications you are describing, so I will try to offer as much accurate information as possible. In regards to the title of your post, are you referring to Diclofenac topical 3% and Gabapentin topical 6%?

Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects, or if they become severe: -redness, itching, peeling or dry skin, irritation, swelling, or rash at the area where you applied the medication -pain, burning, numbness, or tingling of the treated skin -muscle, joint, or back pain -headache Some side effects may be serious.

The emergency and my doctor prescribed me Diclofenac Sod EC 50mg after a car accident. What is this and what does the EC stand for? ## Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat, or prevent pain, and swelling. The EC means that it is enteric coated, to help protect your stomach, since this class of medications can be harsh on your stomach. The FDA lists the typical Diclofenac side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased risk of bleeding. It is available over the counter, now, in gel form to be used topically to treat arthritis, and muscle pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

We purchased the Rumoquin NF gel in Mexico while on vacation, for my husbands sore shoulder. It relieved the pain a little. Now I am rubbing it on my 10th rib from a recent fall and it gives relief so I can sleep. Were can I puchase it? ## Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and Betamethasone is a steroid, as far as I know, they both require a prescription in the U.S. and Canada, due to the risk of some severe side effects they can cause. Have you tried asking your doctor about it? They may be able to prescribe an equivalent.

Does Voltaren contain gabapentin? My bottle says 50 Gm NP Gel. It says under it Diclofenac NA+Dextromethorphan+Gabapentin+Amitriptylyne+Nifedipine: 4 percent. So would this be considered Voltaren Gel and does this mean it contains all of those drugs? Would it be safe to take with Ibprophen, Methadone, and Oxycodone if prescribed together? I can't each my doctor. ## Hello, Bella! How are you? What you've described with that list of ingredients is a special compounded product that you're doctor has ordered for you.

My husband has had 5 way bypass. What are the dangers of Voltaren Aleve or heart medication if he take it at the same time ## Can you post back with the specific heart medications? I can't check any information on them, without knowing what they are, because there are many on the market. As to the Aleve and Voltaren, no, they should not be used t the same time. Aleve contains Naproxen and Voltaren contains Diclofenac and these are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories that are used to treat the same conditions, so it is essentially doubling up on the medication. Using them both at the same time will seriously increase the risk of some side effects, such as nausea, stomach irritation, ulcers and gastritis.
