How MOVIQ Gel works

Diclofenac passes through the skin and reduces prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause pain and swelling, where the gel is applied. Methyl salicylate and menthol are counter-irritants: their warming and cooling sensations distract from the pain.

How to use MOVIQ Gel

Apply a thin layer to the painful area and rub in gently, or as directed by the physician.
Wash your hands after use, unless the hands are being treated.
Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, eyes, mouth or other mucous membranes. Do not cover with a tight bandage.

If you miss a dose

Apply it when you remember, then continue as usual. Do not apply extra to make up.
