Recently there was a thread here talking about acetaminophen versus NSAIDs, but it was all oral stuff. The manufacturer of
Voltaren gel states that the recommended dose results in only 6% the
systemic absorption compared to an oral dose of the same drug, so it seems true that I won't absorb very much of it, and even less if I'm taking half the recommended dose at half the frequency, but I STILL wish I could hear a few other hepatologists say it is safe.
