Licart

Licart (diclofenac epolamine) topical system 1.3% is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) patch. It is designed for once-daily topical application to deliver targeted pain relief directly at the site of minor injuries like sprains, strains, and bruises, minimizing systemic drug exposure compared to oral NSAIDs.

Dosage by Body Weight

Apply exactly one (1) topical patch to the most painful area once daily. Ensure skin is clean, dry, and intact before application. Do not apply to open wounds, cuts, or infected skin.
