Pennsaid (Diclofenac Sodium) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is administered topically as a solution. Unlike traditional oral NSAIDs, which are typically taken in pill form, Pennsaid is applied directly to the skin at the site of pain.

What is the recommended dosing method for Pennsaid?

The recommended dosage of Pennsaid for osteoarthritis typically involves applying 40 drops (2 mL) of gel  to the affected knee four times a day. However, it’s essential to follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions, as dosages can vary based on individual factors.

What are the side effects of Pennsaid?

Common Side Effects:

  • Skin reactions at the application site (redness, itching, rash)

This list is not exhaustive, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while using Pennsaid, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

What if I can’t afford Pennsaid?
