Frequently Asked Questions

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Easygel Work?
Easygel works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By applying the gel directly to the affected area, Easygel delivers the medication locally, reducing pain and inflammation with minimal systemic absorption.
Common Dosages
- Topical gel: 1% or 3% NSAID concentration, depending on the active ingredient (e.g., diclofenac)
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Easygel to the affected area two to four times daily, depending on the severity of pain. Gently rub the gel into the skin until fully absorbed. Avoid using more than the recommended dose or applying it to broken skin.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Localized joint pain (e.g., knees, elbows, wrists)
- Back pain
Who Shouldn't Take Easygel?
- Known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs
- Open wounds or broken skin
- Severe kidney impairment
- Aspirin-sensitive asthma
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Easygel on intact skin only, avoiding contact with eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
- Wash your hands after applying the gel to prevent unintentional exposure.
- Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight after application, as NSAIDs can increase photosensitivity.
- Do not use Easygel in combination with other oral NSAIDs without consulting your doctor.

Risks and Warnings of Easygel
- Photosensitivity: Easygel can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Always use sunscreen or protective clothing when going outside after applying the gel.
- Systemic Absorption: While rare, systemic absorption of NSAIDs from topical use can occur, potentially leading to side effects like gastrointestinal discomfort or kidney issues. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Interactions with Easygel
Common Drug Interactions
- Oral NSAIDs: Using Easygel in combination with oral NSAIDs may increase the risk of side effects like stomach ulcers or kidney damage.
