Diclofenac diethylamine (DDEA) 2.32% gel BID and Diclofenac diethylamine (DDEA) 1.16% gel QID is equally efficient for acute ankle sprain suggests a new study published in the BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Diclofenac diethylamine (DDEA) gel has demonstrated efficacy for treatment of ankle sprains in both the 1.16% four-times-daily (QID) and 2.32% twice-daily (BID) formulations. The objective of this study was to compare, for the first time, the efficacy of DDEA 2.32% gel BID and DDEA 1.16% gel QID.
DDEA 2.32% gel BID offers a convenient alternative to DDEA 1.16% gel QID, with similar pain reduction and relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and tolerability.
