Description
Olfen Gel contains diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as acute strains, sprains, and sports injuries. It works by inhibiting the enzymes that cause inflammation and pain.
Dosage/Direction: Apply a thin layer of Olfen Gel to the affected area 2-4 times daily. Gently rub it in until fully absorbed. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use on damaged skin, such as cuts or burns, or on skin affected by eczema. Protect treated areas from direct sunlight and UV exposure during treatment and for two weeks after stopping.
Side Effects: Common side effects include itching, burning sensation, irritation, and redness at the application site. Rarely, it may cause severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if you experience any severe reactions.
