Accidentally brushed my teeth with diclofanac topical gel -was half alsleep and riinsed well and have an ice pack on -anything else to do -rinsed well and brushed my teeth with toothpaste and liisterine?

Two things: 1. The gel takes several minutes to absorb. 2. We do prescribe pill forms, so it is not toxic in the amount you were exposed to. This is actually common and you did the right thing.

You did the proper protocol by rinsing and using mouthwash. The main ingredient in the gel is diclofenac sodium. Your teeth and gums will be health
