To achieve cutaneous absorption of the gel, a light and prolonged massage is performed on the painful and/or inflamed area.
After each application, wash your hands carefully (except when the gel is used for arthrosis localized to the fingers).
Diclac can be applied in combination with iontophoresis. Diclac is applied to the negative pole (cathode), to promote the penetration of the gel into the skin.
