Diclofenac Gel

Diclofenac gel is a prescription skin gel that belongs to a class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It comes in two forms; one is approved to treat osteoarthritis, while the other is licensed to treat a precancerous skin condition called actinic keratosis. The gel is usually applied to the skin four times a day (for arthritis) or twice daily (for actinic keratosis).
