This video was so helpful. I've experience knee pain in my right leg for two years and didn't know what was happenng. I had xrays done and the doctor said everything looked fine. But the pain was still there. He had me taking naproxen daily and that didn't seem to help. I bought a tube of this almost a month ago and was using it sporatically but then started using it daily and the pain has just about went away. I hope it's permanent but I will continue to use it until I feel absolutely no pain.

Thank you for explanation which my doctor failed to do. Three years after this video was made, diclofenac sodium topical gel is available in generic form. I bought Voltaren, 1.76 oz. size, in CVS for $13.50 and will buy the generic next time, if it works, for $3 less.

Excellent job explaining Diclofenac Gel! I've used it off and on for over three years and although it never really stops the pain, it takes quite a bite out of the intensity!

Humble suggestion here, could you film a dosage being measured out? I discovered some of my elderly home health clients were measuring out double and triple the amounts actually indicated, using the generic gel with enclosed dosage card! Thanks for a very informative video!!
@AskYourPharmacistsidra
Жыл бұрын
Sure I'll make that soon. If the measuring strip that comes with the gel is not available then easy way to explain an elderly patient is to suggest them use the medication equivalent to the length of 2 fingure tips, which is approximately 2 grams.

I recommend using 2 g on each knee and use it as needed. It is recommended to self use it for no more than 21 days after that time period if you still don't get relief it is recommended to see a doctor who can further evaluate your condition and either recommend continue using it or prescribe something else.

This year on my physical it showed high triglycerides, my Cholesterol is normal though. But my triglycerides is 525. Any chance this can affect triglycerides and or cholesterol? Thanks. I’m trying to figure out because my doctor is really not interested in finding out why my triglycerides went up from normal range to 525 in less than a year even though I don’t have a high risk factors.

do you only apply it to the joint or the whole limb? for example, that is a lot of gel for just my big toe joint which is where I have pain. Or do I apply it to my whole foot, even if the big toe joint is the only arthritic spot? also, if I have 4 joints (2 toes and 2 knees) that are arthritic, can I alternate application since I can only apply to two areas at once?

Heat basically increases the absorption of the medication, resulting in a risk of overdose. That's why it is recommended not to use heat right after. But if you want to apply heat or soak 5 hours or even 3-4 hours later, that should be fine.
