Has someone made good experiences with contractubex or diclofenac gel treating Peyronies?

There is a multi-modal treatment study that showed improved success with adding the diclofenac gel.  Also, I think it's helpful for pain.

I used 2.32% while in active phase and it dulled / stopped the pain for 8-10 hours. I would say it was sufficient.

I'd use the strongest generic you can get, the European study used a 4% as I recall.

I've seen online that there are 4% gels and 8% creams. But I have no idea where to procure them...

Just go to goodrx.com and it will show you what's available and at what prices for your area of US

In the US there is only voltaren gel 1%, $60 for one tube. It's a theft.

In this study they used 4% gel: https://art.torvergata.it/retrieve/handle/2108/82567/162936/IA-DT-%20Final%20Version.pdf

Might try a compounding pharmacy for the 3%, or they may even make 4%
