Diclofenac 3% Gel 100g/month

• Diclofenac 3% Gel is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat actinic keratoses (sun-induced, rough, scaly patches). It works beneath the surface to reduce inflammation, improve texture, and promote healing over time.

• Apply a thin, even layer to each affected area twice daily (morning and evening) or as prescribed.
• Massage gently until absorbed; do not cover with dressings or bandages.
• Wash hands after application unless treating the hands themselves.
• Typical treatment duration: 60–90 days. Use consistently as directed.
• Avoid applying to open wounds, broken, or infected skin.

Tell your healthcare provider if you:

• Have a history of ulcers, stomach bleeding, heart, liver, or kidney disease.
• Take blood thinners, corticosteroids, or other NSAIDs.
• Have asthma, allergies, or aspirin sensitivity.
• Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.

• Avoid eyes, mouth, mucous membranes, and open skin.
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or UV lamps on treated areas—use SPF daily.
• Do not apply cosmetics, sunscreens, or other topicals on treated areas unless approved by your provider.
• Avoid oral NSAIDs or aspirin unless your clinician allows it.

• For external use only.
• Even when applied to skin, diclofenac may be systemically absorbed; use only as directed.
• Do not use if you’ve had asthma, hives, or allergic-type reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
• Not for use during the last trimester of pregnancy.

• Common: Mild redness, dryness, itching, peeling, or stinging at application site.
• Less common: Rash, swelling, or increased sensitivity to sunlight.
• Serious (stop use & seek medical help): Allergic reaction (hives, trouble breathing), chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body, black/tarry stools, vomiting blood, unusual bruising or swelling.

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to treated areas.
• Wear protective clothing and hats outdoors.
• Continue sun protection after treatment to help prevent recurrence of actinic keratoses.

• Store at room temperature (68°F–77°F / 20°C–25°C).
• Keep away from heat, flames, and freezing.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Severe irritation, rash, blistering, or worsening inflammation.
• Signs of allergic reaction or systemic side effects.
• Chest pain, trouble breathing, swelling, unexplained bruising, dark stools, or vomiting blood.

Diclofenac 3% Gel is prescribed to treat actinic keratoses (AK) — rough, scaly patches of skin caused by sun exposure. It helps reduce inflammation and promote healthy skin renewal over time.

Treatment typically lasts 60 to 90 days. Visible improvement may appear gradually, but it’s important to complete the full course for the best results. Healing may continue for several weeks after treatment ends.

Apply a thin, even layer to each affected area twice daily (morning and evening). Rub in gently until absorbed. Wash your hands after application unless treating the hands themselves.

It’s best to limit sun exposure during treatment. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and protective clothing, as your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight.

Mild redness, dryness, itching, or peeling are common. These usually lessen as your skin adjusts. Stop using the gel and contact your healthcare provider if you notice severe irritation, rash, swelling, or any allergic reaction.

During treatment, avoid applying cosmetics, moisturizers, or other topical medications to the same area unless your provider has approved them. Keep your routine gentle and fragrance-free.

Do not use Diclofenac 3% Gel during the last trimester of pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, speak with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Store at room temperature (68°F–77°F / 20°C–25°C) away from heat, flame, and freezing. Keep tightly closed and out of reach of children and pets.

Treatment beyond 90 days is generally not recommended unless directed by your provider. Follow your clinician’s instructions and schedule a follow-up visit to assess progress before extending therapy.
