HealthCareAisle Diclofenac Gel, 1%, 150g (5.29oz) | Arthritis Pain Relief, Original Prescription Strength, NSAID

My husband uses this almost daily, and he thinks it is great. It works as well as the name brand, smells as expected, works well as a topical option for his pain, applies easily, and is absorbed cleanly. No noticeable side effects. Will buy again.

Works as well as name brand Voltaren, but costs less.

It relieved my pain very quickly; excellent product.

Works just as good as Voltaren and you save some money. Even comes with the same measuring stick Voltaren does.

Seem to work. When I used it I do feel the pain and discomfort subsides but It has a very slight offensive smell when placing your nose up close similar to the one found in brass cleaner. It does absorb quickly and it is not greasy. In terms of consistency is a bit runny but I personally like it because it spreads faster and easier.

Works really well at a fraction of the cost of a leading brand

good price.

There are three things to consider- the chemical, the brand/value, and what I received. Chemical, 4 stars: After 5 weeks of pain in my foot, I finally went to a podiatrist who diagnosed metatarsalgia and said I should do various things, most of what I was already doing (like icing, shoe changes, rest, etc). One of those things was to use diclofenac three times a day for several weeks. I had never heard of it before, but they supplied a tube of this EXACT brand, but smaller (50g) for $10. I used it for day after day with no results. Then, at day 7 I noticed less pain, and day 8 a very significant difference. So it does work, but it can take quite a while, probably depending on the type of injury and location (topical on tough foot sole to reach deep is probably a challenge). Zero side effects. I don't know if this is going to just reduce pain or help with actual healing, or both. Brand, 5 stars: (Dr. Reddy's) Made in India, but don't care much. This was prescription stuff only 3 years ago. What was $300 a month is now peanuts. This tube is the same brand as what my podiatrist sold, only 3 times as big and for the same price. That is amazing. It is well-packed and well-labeled and easy to use. Costco has their brand for even less, but supposedly has a horrible perfume added and this does not, which is another reason why I went with this brand. I *hate* perfumes/smells added to products. What I received, 3 stars: This is the only problem. It is late Sept 2023 and the tube expires Feb 2024. That is just FIVE MONTHS! The small tube of the SAME product from the podiatrist expires after 1 year and 7 months- far more reasonable. There is no indication how long this stuff is "good" after "expiration". So I expect the manufacturer is probably producing this brand with a 2 year shelf life and what I was sent was very old stock. Overall, I will still give it 5 stars because if you need something that works, know the limitations that it might take several days to work, and aren't bothered by possible quick expiration (which is likely NOT typical), then this is a great value/buy.
