The U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first topical, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, (Diclofenac Sodium) gel for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
“It’s important to have effective pain relief and to treat the symptoms of osteoarthritis,” said Dr. John R. Dozier, an expert in pain management and inflammation. “When we get to the point where we have joint pain and we have osteoarthritis symptoms, we can start to see results.”
Dove, an American non-profit arthritis research and development company, launched a topical gel called Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel on Tuesday.
Voltaren is a gel applied directly to the joint. It contains the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, which is used to treat pain.
The gel is FDA-approved for the treatment of arthritis pain in adults and adolescents ages 12 and older.
“Our findings showed that Voltaren has significantly better results than topical NSAID therapies, which do not contain NSAIDs,” said Dozier.
“We expect to see more data in the coming years to help doctors make a decision about which medication is best for this treatment.”
The topical gel works by easing the pain associated with arthritis and treating joint pain.
The gel is applied directly to the affected area.
“The pain relief is not due to the gel itself. We use topical pain relief products designed to be applied directly to the site of the joint,” said Dr. Andrew G. Coughlin, a co-founder of Osteoarthritis Research and Manufacturers of America, which made the gel.
“This has allowed us to provide more effective pain relief for those who suffer from osteoarthritis,” said Coughlin.
Voltaren is available as a gel in 2.5% and 5% strengths.
“We are committed to providing pain relief to all adults and adolescents who suffer from arthritis,” Coughlin said.
Coughlin said Osteoarthritis Research and Manufacturers of America has launched a number of arthritis-related initiatives since the gel was launched.
“We encourage individuals to report any side effects to the agency, as these may include stomach pain, headaches, changes in joint structure or function, or new symptoms,” Coughlin said.
“There are several other arthritis-related initiatives to support the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,” Coughlin added.
Coughlin said Osteoarthritis Research and Manufacturers of America has launched three arthritis-related initiatives to help support the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
The first was an arthritis-related patient group, known as RICE, which offers a arthritis-treatment program and is supported by the American Osteoarthritis Education and Research Center.
“We are committed to providing knee osteoarthritis treatment for individuals who are suffering from arthritis and to support these initiatives,” Coughlin said.
The RICE program, known as the RICE-ADA, is an arthritis-treatment program for people with osteoarthritis.
“The RICE-ADA provides individuals with knee osteoarthritis treatment for the first time,” Coughlin said.
“We want to help people who suffer from arthritis and to support the RICE-ADA program,” Coughlin added.
“We are committed to helping individuals who are suffering from osteoarthritis who are experiencing pain, stiffness, pain and/or discomfort from the pain and/or inflammation of arthritis to feel their best,” Coughlin said.
“There are multiple other arthritis-related initiatives that support the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,” Coughlin added.
The arthritis-treatment program was launched in October in the United States.
Osteoarthritis Research and Manufacturers of AmericaIn October, arthritis-treatment groups began to participate in the arthritis-treatment program for people with osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis Research and Manufacturers of America and the American Osteoarthritis Education and Research Center will be participating in an arthritis-treatment education and research project at the National Institutes of Health.
