How &

When

How it works?

Voltaren Emulgel contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) diclofenac. Unlike cooling gels and heat patches that work by cooling or heating the skin, diclofenac is absorbed to work at the site of inflammation and pain. Voltaren Emulgel is an emulsion gel, which allows the active ingredient (diclofenac) to penetrate the skin in order to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
How to use it?

Depending on the size of the painful site to be treated, apply 2 to 4 g Voltaren Emulgel 3 to 4 times daily to the affected parts and rub in gently.
After application, the hands should be washed, unless they are the site being treated.
Patients should consult their doctor if the condition does not improve or worsens within 7 days of starting treatment.

When to use it?

Voltaren Emulgel is indicated for the symptomatic relief of localized traumatic inflammation and pain.
