Diclofen Cremogel is a topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory preparation. The white, creamy, non-greasy preparation is easy to rub into the skin, and its aqueous alcohol base gives it a soothing and cooling effect. Diclofenac has been shown in experiments to inhibit prostaglandin biosynthesis, and this is regarded as an important factor in its mechanism of action. In inflammation of traumatic or rheumatic origin, Diclofen® Cremogel has been shown to relieve pain, reduce edema, and shorten the time to return of normal function.
