Description:
Artifen Topical Gel contains diclofenac sodium 1%, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for topical application.

Indications:

- Osteoarthritis (e.g., knees, hands)

- Gently rub into the skin; do not apply to broken or irritated skin
- Wash hands after application unless treating the hands
- Avoid covering with occlusive dressings unless directed

Cautions:
- For external use only
- Not for use in children unless prescribed
- Avoid sun exposure on treated areas
- Discontinue if rash or irritation occurs
