DICLOFENAC GEL B. P

Diclofenac Gel B.P. is a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for external application. It contains Diclofenac, which helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in muscles and joints. Being a percutaneous (through the skin) analgesic, it penetrates the affected area to provide targeted relief without the need for oral medication.

The gel is lightweight, easy to apply, and quickly absorbed into the skin, making it suitable for localized pain management.
