Diulcus Gel
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Diulcus Gel is a medication used to promote healing in diabetic foot ulcers, open sores, or wounds commonly occurring in people with diabetes. It helps improve blood flow and tissue healing by reducing inflammation and promoting new cell growth.
Apply Diulcus Gel directly to the clean, affected area as your doctor directs, usually once or twice a day. Always wash your hands before and after applying the medicine to avoid contamination. Follow all instructions carefully, including proper wound care, keeping the ulcer clean, and covering it with a dressing if necessary. Maintaining good blood sugar control and a balanced diet can support healing.
Diulcus Gel is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site. These usually go away on their own; however, if they worsen or persist, let your doctor know. To prevent irritation, avoid applying it to broken or damaged skin that is not part of the ulcer.
Before using Diulcus Gel, let your doctor know if you have a known history of allergic reactions to beta-blockers or any ingredients in this medicine. Let your doctor also know about any other medications or treatments you are using and any preexisting medical conditions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before starting treatment.

How to use Diulcus Gel
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Diulcus Gel works
Diulcus Gel may stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the ulcerated area, enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues, which is often compromised in diabetic patients. It enhances the migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts—cells crucial for skin regeneration and collagen production, essential for healing the ulcer.

Quick tips
- Always ensure the ulcer is correctly cleaned before applying Diulcus Gel. Cleaning helps remove bacteria and debris, allowing the medicine to work more effectively.
- Avoid applying Diulcus Gel to healthy skin as it may cause unnecessary irritation.
- Keep your blood sugar within target ranges to support the healing process.
- Covering the ulcer with a dressing after application may help keep the wound moist, promote faster healing, and protect against infection. Follow your doctor’s advice.
- Monitor the ulcer for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, swelling, or foul-smelling discharge. If you notice any of these, consult with your doctor.
- To prevent further injury to the ulcer or reinfection, avoid walking barefoot, especially if you have neuropathy (loss of feeling in your feet). Wear comfortable, protective footwear to reduce pressure on the ulcer.
