Medical Overview
Diclofenac Patch is listed as Analgesic / NSAID containing Diclofenac Epolamine Patch. A pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medicine, depending on the active ingredient.
Diclofenac patch (epolamine) — the elegant local NSAID: 12-hour transdermal delivery straight over sprains and strains with >95% less systemic exposure than tablets (stomach/kidney/heart mostly spared). Intact skin only, twice daily, no occlusion, RICE first for acute injuries; useless for deep or diffuse pain; third-trimester family rule applies even topically.
Uses / Indications
- Local pain
- contusions
- sprains
- Mild to moderate pain, inflammation, or fever when appropriate.
Side Effects
- موضعية بالمقام الأول: حكة واحمرار مكان اللصق (الأشيع)
- جفاف
- وتحسس تماسي (طفح متفاقم = أوقف). حساسية ضوئية بموضعها (غطِّه عن الشمس). الجهازي النظري ضئيل لكن ليس صفراً بالاستخدام الواسع المزمن.
- Stomach irritation, nausea, or dizziness; some analgesics can increase bleeding or kidney risk.
Contraindications
- جلد مجروح أو متسلخ أو ملتهب بموضع اللصق
- حساسية الأسبرين/NSAIDs التنفسية (حتى موضعياً حذر)
- **الثلث الأخير من الحمل** (قاعدة العائلة تشمل موضعياتها)

Warnings
- أساسيات الإصابة أولاً: الساعات الـ48 الأولى ثلج ورفع وضغط وراحة (اللصقة مسكّن لا علاج)
- ولصقة على جلد سليم فقط 12 ساعة ثم بديلة — لا فوق بعضهما ولا تحت ضماد ضاغط محكم. إصابة لا يتحسن ألمها وتورمها بأيام
- أو عجز حركة كامل
- أو مفصل مشوه = صورة وعيادة (كسر؟ قطع رباط؟). لا تلصقها وتشمّس. احجز عظام عبر كلينكس جو.
- Avoid combining medicines from the same pain-reliever class without advice.
Drug Interactions
- شبه معدومة بجهازيته الضئيلة — ميزته على أقراص العائلة. لا يُجمع فوقه كريم مضاد التهاب آخر بنفس البقعة
- ولا ضماد محكم فوقه (يقفز الامتصاص).
