Diclofenac epolamine, delivered via a transdermal patch, acts on inflammatory pathways to provide analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects.

- Mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain: reduces pain and improves function in muscles, joints and tendons. - Localized soft‑tissue inflammation: decreases swelling and discomfort at the application site. - Post‑traumatic or overuse injuries: alleviates pain associated with sprains, strains and minor injuries.

Adverse reactions may occur at the application site or systemically.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: redness or mild discomfort at the patch site. - Itching or burning sensation: transient sensation during or after removal. - Dryness or peeling of the skin. - Localized rash or contact dermatitis. - Mild swelling around the application area.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): difficulty breathing, swelling of face or throat. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis: extensive skin blistering and detachment. - Severe skin ulceration or necrosis at the site. - Systemic NSAID toxicity: renal impairment or hepatic dysfunction. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of heart attack or stroke in susceptible individuals.

When using Miniflampatch, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess skin integrity: ensure the application site is intact and free of lesions. - Avoid use on infected or damaged skin: risk of increased absorption and irritation. - Limit duration: follow prescriber instructions to prevent excessive systemic exposure. - Monitor for cardiovascular risk: NSAIDs may increase risk in patients with heart disease. - Avoid concurrent use of other topical NSAIDs: may increase local toxicity. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pouch, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Diclofenac epolamine may interact with other medicines; some combinations should be avoided while others require monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent oral anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk. - Systemic NSAIDs: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Lithium therapy: diclofenac may raise lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may reduce renal clearance of diclofenac. - Corticosteroids: combined use can raise risk of gastrointestinal ulceration.
