Diclofenac from Novartis, anti-inflammatory GEL

[Guest guest]

Hi I wanted to reply via the group mail but I am not able to access "Message Boards and Forums" So I just started a new thread.

At first glance, this cream looked like a dream come true, but........The warnings seem much the same as taking NSAIDS orally..... Is there a difference?

"This medicine can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and gastrointestinal effects can occur without warning at any time while you are using an NSAID. Older adults may have an even greater risk of these serious gastrointestinal side effects."
