How does Diclofenac 7.5% cream work?
Diclofenac 7.5% cream is a potent topical anti-inflammatory treatment specifically designed to address pain and inflammation at the source. Its active ingredient, diclofenac sodium, is part of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) family, known for its effectiveness in relieving discomfort. Here’s how it works:
Reduces inflammation: Diclofenac sodium blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation, swelling, and pain. By inhibiting these chemicals, the cream helps alleviate discomfort and improve mobility in the affected area.
Targeted relief: Unlike oral medications, Diclofenac 7.5% cream is applied directly to the site of pain or inflammation. This allows the active ingredient to penetrate the skin and act on the underlying tissues, delivering precise and localised relief where it’s needed most.
Minimises side effects: As a topical treatment, the cream delivers the medication directly to the affected area, reducing the amount absorbed into the bloodstream. This helps minimise the risk of systemic side effects, such as stomach irritation or gastrointestinal issues, which are more common with oral NSAIDs.
Fast absorption: The cream’s non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula ensures that the active ingredient quickly reaches the inflamed tissues, providing prompt and effective relief.
Whether you’re dealing with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or minor muscle injuries, Diclofenac 7.5% cream offers a powerful and targeted solution to reduce pain and inflammation, helping you regain mobility and comfort.
How to use Diclofenac 7.5% cream
For the best results, follow these steps to apply Diclofenac 7.5% cream safely and effectively:
Prepare the area
Make sure the affected area is clean and completely dry before application. This allows the cream to absorb better and ensures optimal effectiveness.
Apply a thin layer
Dispense a small amount of the cream and gently spread a thin, even layer over the area experiencing pain or inflammation. Use only the amount recommended by your doctor or pharmacist.
Massage into the skin
Rub the cream into the skin using gentle circular motions until it is fully absorbed. This helps the active ingredient penetrate the tissues for targeted relief.
Wash your hands
After applying the cream, wash your hands thoroughly unless the treatment is for your hands. This prevents accidental contact with sensitive areas such as your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Follow the recommended frequency
Apply the cream 2-4 times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Stick to the prescribed frequency and avoid exceeding the recommended amount.
Avoid certain areas
Do not apply the cream to broken, irritated, or infected skin. Keep it away from your eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas to prevent irritation.

Which medicines interact with Diclofenac 7.5% cream?
Although Diclofenac 7.5% cream is a topical treatment, it can still interact with certain medications, particularly if used in large amounts or for an extended period. Below are some medicines that may interact with diclofenac:
Other NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)
Using Diclofenac 7.5% cream alongside other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, may increase the risk of side effects, including stomach irritation, ulcers, or bleeding.
Anticoagulants (Blood thinners)
Medications like warfarin, heparin, or apixaban may heighten the risk of bleeding when combined with diclofenac.
Corticosteroids
Combining corticosteroids (e.g., prednisolone) with diclofenac may increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, such as ulcers or bleeding.
Diclofenac can reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure-lowering medications, including ACE inhibitors (e.g., ramipril), beta-blockers (e.g., atenolol), and diuretics (e.g., furosemide).
Lithium or methotrexate
Diclofenac may increase the levels of lithium or methotrexate in the bloodstream, potentially raising the risk of side effects from these medications.
Antidiabetic medications
Diclofenac can affect blood sugar levels, so individuals taking insulin or oral diabetes medications like metformin may require closer monitoring.
Ciclosporin or tacrolimus
These immune-suppressing medications may increase the risk of kidney problems when used with diclofenac.
SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors)
Antidepressants such as fluoxetine, sertraline, or citalopram may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with diclofenac.
Important advice
Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you are taking before starting Diclofenac 7.5% cream.
Avoid applying other topical products, such as creams or gels, to the same area unless recommended by a healthcare professional.
If you are uncertain about potential interactions, consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
By understanding these interactions, you can safely and effectively use Diclofenac 7.5% cream as part of your treatment plan.
