Diclofenac 1% Zentiva is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel for local relief of muscle, tendon and joint pain. Its diclofenac-based formula acts directly on the painful area to reduce inflammation and improve comfort of movement. For use by adults and adolescents aged 15 and over.
Diclofenac 1% Zentiva is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the form of a gel for cutaneous application. Developed by the Zentiva France laboratory, it acts directly on the painful area, where the inflammation takes hold, without passing through the whole body. This targeted action provides effective support for acute pain associated with minor everyday traumas.
When a muscle is overstretched, a tendon irritated or a joint shocked, an inflammatory cascade is set in motion, rather like an internal alarm going off. Diclofenac acts as a moderator of this alarm: it helps to slow down the production of substances responsible for inflammation, which helps to soothe pain and reduce inflammation locally.
This gel is particularly well-suited to sprains, strains and contusions, but also to pain of muscular or tendino-ligamentary origin. It can also be used during painful osteoarthritis flare-ups, as a symptomatic treatment after medical advice. Its local use offers a targeted response, comparable to a soothing balm applied directly to the sensitive point.
The gel texture is rapidly absorbed, without leaving a greasy film, making it easier to apply and more comfortable to move around. In practice, Diclofenac 1% Zentiva helps to promote joint comfort, relieve muscular tension and support a gradual return to mobility.
For adults and adolescents aged 15 and over, and for short periods of time, this medication can be easily integrated into the overall management of local pain. To reinforce its analgesic action, a combination with Chondrosulf 400 mg Arthrose IBSA 84 capsules may be considered: their complementary mechanisms help optimize relief while maintaining a local approach.
Dosage should be adapted to the type and intensity of pain. The aim is to use the smallest effective quantity for the shortest possible duration.
For minor trauma (sprains, strains, contusion): 1 local application, 2 to 3 times a day, for a maximum of 4 days.
For muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain (adjunctive treatment): 1 local application, 3 to 4 times a day, for up to 7 days.
For painful flare-ups of osteoarthritis (on medical advice): 1 local application, 3 to 4 times a day, for 7 days, extendable to 14 days if necessary.
The dose per application should not exceed 2.5 g of gel (approx. 6 cm) for trauma and muscle pain, and 4 g (approx. 10 cm) for osteoarthritis. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and massage in gently over a long period.
