HYPO DX Arthritis Pain can be used for the temporary relief of arthritis pain in the hands, wrists, elbows, arms, lower back, legs, feet, ankles and knees. It can help in patients with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and mainly affects cartilage. When you have OA, your cartilage begins to break down and wear away, resulting in joint pain and stiffness. OA occurs more frequently when you get older and the pain can gradually worsen over time.

HYPO DX works similarly to oral NSAIDs like naproxen by temporarily blocking the production of pain-signaling chemicals called prostaglandins. It works by penetrating deep through your skin to deliver NSAID medicine and relieve arthritis pain.

HYPO DX is the first full prescription strength OTC topical NSAID gel for arthritis pain. Many other OTC topical products temporarily mask arthritis pain by creating a heating or cooling sensation on the skin. HYPO DX is applied to the painful area and penetrates deep into the skin to treat arthritis pain by temporarily blocking the production of pain signaling chemicals.

The active ingredient in HYPO DX is diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It falls in the same class as other NSAIDs such as naproxen.

Unlike topical lidocaine product that works by desensitizing the nerves to numb away the pain, HYPO DX contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine that treats pain by temporarily blocking the production of pain-signaling chemicals called prostaglandins. Additionally, HYPO DX is developed specifically to relieve arthritis joint pain. It’s the first full prescription strength OTC topical NSAID spray for joint pain due to arthritis.
