Why is Solaraze Gel prescribed?

Solaraze Gel is a topical NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) used to treat actinic keratosis, a skin condition resulting from extended exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

What does it do?

Solaraze Gel contains diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and abnormal skin cell growth.

When applied topically, diclofenac is absorbed into the epidermis, where it helps treat actinic keratosis by preventing the formation of new blood vessels and abnormal skin cells.

How should I take it?

Solaraze Gel should be applied twice daily to the affected skin areas, use a thin layer and gently massage it in. The recommended treatment duration is 60 to 90 days (2 to 3 months). After applying the gel, wash your hands unless treating them, and avoid contact with your eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin. Full healing may take up to 30 days after discontinuing treatment.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Solaraze Gel, use it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed one and continue following your usual schedule. Avoid taking extra or double doses to compensate for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Solaraze Gel?

Before taking Solaraze Gel, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Avoid using Solaraze Gel if you have a known allergy to Diclofenac Sodium, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have:
  • Asthma
  • Heart problems
  • Liver conditions
  • High blood pressure (Hypertension)
• NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can cause stomach ulcers or bleeding, particularly in elderly patients.
• Avoid sharing this medication with others, even if they have a similar condition, as it may cause unexpected health risks or adverse effects.
• If you are pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits of taking this medication.
• Make sure to wash your hands after use and avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Itchy skin
• Dry skin
• Burning sensation at the application site
• Skin rash or redness

Serious side effects may include:
• Hives
• Difficulty breathing
• Chest pain
• Stomach ulcers

This is not a complete list of potential side effects, and additional reactions may occur. For detailed information and medical guidance, consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Solaraze Gel can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug. Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

Before taking Solaraze Gel, consult your doctor if you are using any of the following medications:

• ACE inhibitors
• Blood thinners
• Diuretics
• Steroids
• Methotrexate
• Other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)

This is not a complete list of all the potential drug interactions, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining Solaraze Gel with other medications to ensure safety.

How should I store it?

Solaraze Gel should be stored in its original container at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Keep it away from direct sunlight and ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose which is unlikely since this is a topical medication, you can simply rinse it with water and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital if needed.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Solaraze Gel needs to be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is not advised in the last three months of pregnancy due to potential harm to the fetus, while its use during the first six months should only be under a doctor's guidance. Since topical diclofenac may pass into breast milk, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before using it while breastfeeding to ensure the safety of the infant.
