A member asked:
Any suggestions on which gel is better for treating pain: a diclofenac gel or an etofenamate gel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar : Studies have shown that about 40-60 % of people with pain from due to Osteoarthritis or Sports Injuries felt they had a good - excellent relief of symptoms when using one of the gels. There are no "head to head" studies comparing one gel vs the other for the same type of problem. You could try one and, if you don't see a meaningful benefit after 3-6 days, then switch to other.
