Diclofenac ingredients?

Diclofenac comes in many different products (oral tablets, capsules, gels, patches, etc.), and the exact ingredient list (active plus excipients) varies by brand and country. If you want the exact ingredients, tell me the product name and country, and I’ll pull the full list.

If you’re asking in general:
- Active ingredient options often seen: diclofenac (as a salt) or diclofenac diethylamine for topical gels.
- Oral forms commonly use diclofenac sodium or diclofenac potassium.
- Topical gels/creams often use diclofenac diethylamine or diclofenac sodium in a gel/cream base.
- Inactive ingredients (excipients) vary widely by product but may include:
- Fillers/diluents (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, starch)
- binders and disintegrants (e.g., povidone, crospovidone)
- lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate)
- coatings or film-coat ingredients (e.g., hypromellose, titanium dioxide)
- for topical products: solvents and bases such as ethanol, propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, carbomer, and stabilizers.

If you share the exact product (e.g., “Voltaren 50 mg tablets” or “Voltarol 1% gel” or a generic 50 mg diclofenac sodium tablet from Country X), I’ll list the precise ingredients from the label.
