About this item
Lofnac Gel belongs to the class of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Unlike oral tablets that must travel through the digestive system, this gel is absorbed through the skin (transdermally) to reach the underlying muscles, tendons, and joints. The diethylamine salt of diclofenac is specifically chosen for its superior ability to penetrate the skin barrier, ensuring rapid relief from musculoskeletal discomfort.
Proper Administration
- Clean the Area: Wash and dry the affected area before application.
- Amount: Depending on the size of the painful area, apply a small amount (about the size of a cherry or walnut) to the skin.
- Application: Gently rub the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
- Frequency: Usually applied 3 to 4 times daily.
- Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly after application, unless your hands are the area being treated.
Duration of Treatment
- Short-Term Use: For muscle and soft tissue injuries, do not use for more than 7–14 days unless directed by a doctor.
- Arthritis Pain: For osteoarthritis pain, it may be used for up to 21 days. If symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
How to Store and Dispose of Lofnac Gel
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Do not freeze. Keep the tube tightly capped when not in use.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of the empty tube according to local household waste guidelines.
Quick Tips for Lofnac Gel
- Do Not Cover: Avoid covering the treated area with airtight (occlusive) dressings or bandages, as this can increase absorption to unsafe levels.
- Avoid Broken Skin: Never apply the gel to open wounds, cuts, rashes, or infected skin.
- Avoid Heat: Do not use heating pads or lamps on the area where the gel has been applied.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Lofnac Gel
- Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Diclofenac, Aspirin, or other NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen).
- Aspirin Asthma: Do NOT use if you have ever experienced an asthma attack or hives after taking oral pain relievers.
- Pregnancy: Avoid use during the last trimester (3 months) of pregnancy, as it can affect the baby.
Side Effects of Lofnac Gel
- Common: Mild skin irritation, redness, or itching at the site of application.
- Less Common: Increased sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity).
- Serious: Widespread skin rash or difficulty breathing (very rare with topical use).
- Action: If you develop a severe skin rash or blistering, stop use immediately and wash the area.
Precautions and Warnings
- Sun Exposure: Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or tanning beds, as the gel may increase your risk of sunburn.
- Eyes and Mouth: Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Oral NSAIDs: Consult your doctor if you are already taking oral NSAID tablets (like Diclofenac or Ibuprofen) to avoid "stacking" the dose.
- Pack Size: 20g, 30g, or 50g Tube.
- Form: Topical Gel.
- Active Ingredient: Diclofenac Diethylamine.
