Product Information

Diclac Max Relief 2% w/w Gel is a high-strength, targeted anti-inflammatory treatment designed to provide effective relief from mild to moderate muscle and joint pain. Containing double the concentration of active diclofenac compared to standard 1% gels, this 100g "Max Relief" formula penetrates deep into the tissue to treat the source of pain and inflammation at the site of injury.

Ideal for sports injuries, sprains, and strains, Diclac Max Relief is formulated for convenience, requiring only two applications a day to provide long-lasting comfort.

Targeted Double-Strength Relief

When you are dealing with a sports injury or joint pain, you want a treatment that works quickly and lasts. Diclac Max Relief contains the active substance diclofenac diethylamine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that directly inhibits the enzymes responsible for pain and swelling.

The 2% formulation is specifically designed for short-term treatment in adults and adolescents aged 14 and over. Because it is more concentrated than standard gels, it stays active in the tissue longer, meaning you only need to apply it in the morning and evening for all-day relief.

Key Benefits

  • Double Strength (2%): Provides more active medication per application for moderate pain relief.
  • Twice-Daily Application: Only requires use every 12 hours (morning and evening), offering greater convenience than 1% gels.
  • Fast Absorption: The non-greasy gel formula is absorbed quickly into the skin to reach the inflamed joint or muscle.
  • Localised Action: Targets pain exactly where it hurts, reducing the need for oral painkillers and minimising systemic side effects.
  • Large 100g Pack: An economical size for treating larger areas like the back, shoulder, or knee over several days.

How to use

How to Use Diclofenac Gel

Diclac Max Relief is for external, cutaneous use only in adults and adolescents aged 14 years and older.

  • Dosage: Apply a small amount of gel (the size of a cherry to a walnut, approx. 2g to 4g) to the painful area.
  • Frequency: Use twice daily (ideally morning and evening).
  • Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 8g per day.
  • Application: Gently rub the gel into the skin. Wash your hands immediately after use (unless your hands are the area being treated).
