Gastric and duodenal ulcer in the exacerbation phase.

Do not use immediately before or immediately after heart surgery.

Method of application

Adults and children over 14 years of age should apply a thin layer of 2–4 g of gel (a strip of 4–8 cm) to the skin 2–3 times a day and rub in gently. The average daily dose is 10 g of gel, which corresponds to 100 mg of diclofenac sodium. The drug should be applied to intact skin, avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Application features

Use with caution with oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. The risk increases with dose and duration of use and is higher in elderly patients, patients with a history of gastric ulcer, impaired hemostasis, and patients taking anticoagulants, glucocorticoids or other NSAIDs, as well as in the presence of alcohol.

Pregnant women

During the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, the drug can be used only in case of urgent need on small areas for a short time. Dolaren, gel, is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy due to the possibility of developing weakness of labor, pulmonary hypertension and/or premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.

Children

Contraindicated for children under 14 years of age.
