Some patients report local skin reactions when using topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (1). Therefore, the drug-related adverse events reported at the application site in studies evaluating diclofenac diethylamine (DDEA) 2.32% topical gel were collated to give an overview of its local tolerability.
Topical treatment with DDEA 2.32% gel was well tolerated locally, even under occlusive conditions, with few drug-related local adverse effects that were mostly mild to moderate. The phototoxic potential with DDEA 2.32% gel was minimal.
