Learn How Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief 1.16% Gel Relieves Your Pain
Make osteoarthritis less of a pain with Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief Gel. Clinically proven to... relieve pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, a study has shown that Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief Gel is as effective as taking 400mg oral ibuprofen for arthritis of the fingers.*
*For arthritis pain it may be necessary to apply the gel for up to 7 days to allow its effect to build up in the joint and before an improvement in pain is noticed.
Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief Gel brings targeted and localised relief from pain and swelling (inflammation) in muscles, back and neck. It relieves pain to help you get moving again!
Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief 1.16% Gel can also be used for relief of mild arthritis.
Unlike products such as heat patches and cooling gels that work by cooling or heating the skin, Voltarol Osteoarthritis Joint Pain Relief 1.16% Gel contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called diclofenac which targets pain at its source.
Emulgel technology helps the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin to enhance delivery of diclofenac to the point of pain. Applying the gel 3 or 4 times a day,... as directed in the patient information leaflet, produces a reservoir of the active ingredient diclofenac in your skin to provide a sustained source of diclofenac. The gel works by blocking production of some of the body’s chemicals that cause pain, tenderness and swelling (inflammation) – so relieving your pain to help restore your mobility!
