How does Voltaren Emulgel 12 Hour work

We know it may feel like magic, but it really isn’t. Voltaren Emulgel 12 Hour works by delivering diclofenac, a potent NSAID right to the point of pain. Voltaren Emulgel has a triple effect, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and speeding recovery. The active ingredient in Voltaren Emulgel, diclofenac, is also retained at the point of pain. With an added permeation enhancer included in our Voltaren Emulgel 12 Hour formulation, more of the active ingredient is able to penetrate deep into the skin. It forms reservoirs in the tissue underneath, which means a sustained source of pain relief targeting the point of pain, where you need it most, unlike pills that go through the stomach. Voltaren Emulgel 12 Hour is clinically proven and targeted, making it an effective alternative to pills.

And because it goes directly to the point of pain instead of going through the stomach and around your body, Voltaren Emulgel 12 Hour is kinder to the stomach than pain pills** and presents a lower risk of systemic side effects††. In fact, it is even clinically proven to be as well-tolerated and gentle to your body as a drug-free gel‡‡.

Frequently asked questions

  • Should I wash my hands after using Voltaren?

    Once you’ve applied Voltaren Emulgel, to prevent the Emulgel entering the water system, please wipe the excess Emulgel off your hands with an absorbent tissue, and throw that tissue in the bin (not down the toilet). After that, wash your hands. If your hands are the site you’re treating, don’t wash the Emulgel off them!
