Urgo Diclofenac 1% Gel for Sprains, Strains, and Bruises

When should you use Urgo Diclofenac 1% Gel to relieve pain caused by an injury?

Did you twist your ankle stepping off a curb? Are you experiencing pain after an impact or a sudden, awkward movement? Urgo Diclofenac 1% Gel for Sprains, Strains, and Bruises is indicated for the short-term, topical treatment of minor injuries such as sprains, strains, or bruises. It is intended for adults and adolescents over 15 years of age.

Its active ingredient, diclofenac sodium, belongs to the family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Applied directly to the skin, it acts at the source of the pain. Think of inflammation as a small, localized fire in the tissues: diclofenac works to calm this excessive reaction, thereby relieving pain and reducing swelling.

When used topically, the action remains targeted. The product penetrates through the skin into the underlying tissues. It helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain without being widely distributed through the systemic circulation. This provides you with localized treatment, ideal for joint or muscle pain resulting from a recent injury.

When used at the first signs of pain, this gel helps promote daily comfort by quickly reducing the intensity of pain and the feeling of discomfort. Simple actions, such as putting your foot on the ground, bending a joint, or performing a routine movement, gradually become easier and less restrictive. This helps you regain some ease of movement, which in turn helps you maintain an appropriate level of activity without overtaxing the affected area.

This treatment does not address the mechanical cause of the injury, but it effectively supports the body during the initial inflammatory phase. By calming this excessive reaction, it creates conditions more conducive to natural tissue recovery, while allowing you to better tolerate the stresses of daily life.

For complementary and prolonged relief, you can combine this treatment with Urgo Diclofenac 140 mg (5 patches), which continuously release the active ingredient onto the painful area and thus enhance the local pain-relieving effect.

How should you use this topical anti-inflammatory gel?

Apply the gel 3 times a day directly to the painful area, then massage gently and thoroughly to ensure the active ingredient penetrates well.

If there is no improvement or if symptoms worsen after four days of use, consult your doctor.
