Hello XXXXX

Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX

Etofenamat is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug that is safe to use for external use and contraindication is only when having gastric ulcer as it can aggravate the ulcer. You can apply daily as indicated by your doctor followed by a massage.

Hope this helps and wish you the best.
