Uniren Gel Side Effects

Local reactions: Uniren Gel is usually well tolerated.
Occasional: Allergic or non-allergic contact dermatitis (with symptoms and signs such as itching, reddening, edema, papules, vesicles, bullae or scalling of skin).
Systemic reactions: Isolated cases: Generalized skin rash, hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. asthmatic attacks, angioedema), photosensitivity reactions. Patients should be warned against excessive exposure to sunlight in order to reduce the incidence of photosensitivity.
General: Systemic absorption of Uniren Gel is low compared with plasma levels obtained following administration of oral forms of Diclofenac and the likelihood of systemic effects occurring with topical Diclofenac is small compared with the frequency of side effects associated with oral Diclofenac.
However, where Uniren Gel is applied to a relatively large area of skin and over a prolonged period, the possibility of systemic side effects cannot be completely excluded. Asthma has been rarely reported in patients using topical NSAIDs preparations.
