Solaraze Drug Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Solaraze (diclofenac sodium) Gel is used to treat warty overgrowths of skin (actinic keratoses) on sun-exposed areas of the body. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Common side effects include rash, scaling, dry skin, or itching at application site.
Solaraze Gel is applied to lesion areas twice daily. Smooth onto affected skin gently. The amount needed depends upon the size of the lesion site. Assure that enough Solaraze Gel is applied to adequately cover each lesion. Normally 0.5 g of gel is used on each 5 cm x 5 cm lesion site. The recommended duration of therapy is 60 to 90 days. Solaraze may interact with blood thinners, cyclosporine, lithium, methotrexate, diuretics (water pills), steroids, or ACE inhibitors. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. During the first 6 months of pregnancy, Solaraze should be used only when prescribed. It is not recommended for use during the last 3 months of pregnancy due to possible harm to the fetus and problems with normal labor/delivery. Based on information from related drugs, this medication may pass into breast milk. Though there have been no reports of harm to nursing infants, consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Our Solaraze (diclofenac sodium) Gel Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases and conditions articles.
