How much Voltaren to use

Let’s get the magic underway.

Firstly, flip open the cap, specially designed for those with joint and finger pain as an Easy Open cap. Squeeze out enough gel to comfortably cover the affected area. This could be anywhere between the size of a cherry and a walnut.

  • Dosage Guidelines

    • Voltaren is a smooth, non-greasy formula that combines a gel and cream that targets pain. Apply a cherry sized amount to small areas, such as your hands and joints. And a walnut sized amount to larger areas such as your lower back, neck, and shoulders.

      You should apply every 12 hours, ideally every morning and evening to build a routine and create long lasting pain relief.

How to use Voltaren

Rubbing, it seems simple. And actually, it is. Astonishingly rubbing can relieve pain for as long as 20 minutes. Scientists have found that gentle stroking activates "pleasure" nerves beneath the skin, which then reduces the sensation of pain from other nerves. In simple terms, your brain is completely overloaded with competing sensory information that it stops pain signals from being appropriately perceived.

So, if you thought the phrase ‘rub it better’ was just for children, you’d be wrong. Grownups can seriously benefit too.

Treating Neck and Back Pain

Treating neck and back pain with Voltarol can be challenging due to the difficulty of reaching this area. Applying the gel or cream to the neck's precise assistance to ensure proper coverage.

The sensitive nature of the nexk makes it important to use caustion and expertise when applying topical treatments to avoid any inadvertent discomfort or complications. Watch the full video to learn more

  • How it works - The Science

    • Voltaren 2.32% Gel works by delivering diclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) right to the point of pain.

      Why is Emulgel special?

      This has a triple effect, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and speeding healing. When the body is injured (or you’re having a painful flare-up), COX2 enzymes are activated, that create a chain reaction of pain and inflammation. All the way from your sore knee, to your brain!

      The medicine in Voltaren Emulgel, diclofenac, blocks this chain reaction, telling your brain to reduce the pain and inflammation, and working with your body’s natural healing process to accelerate recovery.

    • Why is Emulgel special?

      Specially formulated as an emulsion gel, Voltaren 2.32% Gel contains an added permeation enhancer so 7x more active ingredient is able to penetrate through the skin, deep into the joint, than standard Ibruprofen gels.

      The active ingredient, diclofenac, is also stored at the point of pain for long lasting pain relief. Voltaren Emulgel is the only clinically proven diclofenac gel showing the medicine is kept in the joint, even after 12 hours*.

      *After 7 days.

    • Voltaren 12H Gel works by delivering diclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) right to the point of pain. It has a triple effect, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and speeding healing. The active ingredient, diclofenac, is also retained at the point of pain.

      With an added permeation enhancer included in our special Voltaren 12H Pain Relief Emulgel 2.32% formulation, more active ingredient is able to penetrate deep into the skin.

Clean

Should you wash your hands after using Voltaren

Now to clean up!

Once you’ve rubbed in the gel, you may still have some excess gel on your hands. Wipe them with an absorbent tissue (not a wet wipe!). Throw it in the bin. Then wash your hands (provided your hands are not the site of pain, of course). Make sure to wait for the applied gel to dry before jumping in the shower, too.

When you are finished with your tube, take it to a pharmacy so they can safely recycle or dispose of the tube. For more information here’s a handy site with more info on how to dispose of medicine safely: http://medsdisposal.eu

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I use Voltaren when pregnant?

    The use of Voltaren Emulgel (gel and spray) and Voltaren 12 H gel, which all contain the non-steroidal inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac, have not been studied in pregnant women. Use only on advice of your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby.

    Do not use if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it could harm your unborn child or cause problems at delivery.

  • Can I take Voltaren when breastfeeding?

    In Voltaren 12H Pain Relief Emulgel 2.32% where the product is applied to the skin, it is not known whether diclofenac is excreted in breast milk. Therefore, it is not recommended to use while breastfeeding, unless advised by a doctor or healthcare professional.

  • Does the pain relief from Voltaren 12H Gel last all day?

    Voltaren 12H Gel requires only two applications per day, approximately 12 hours apart (morning and evening), to provide up to 12 hour joint pain relief from pain and inflammation. Diclofenac accumulates in the skin which acts as a reservoir from where there is a sustained release of drug into underlying tissue.

  • What is special about Voltaren Gel?

    Voltaren 12H Gel can provide concentrated pain relief up to 12 hours by targeting pain and inflammation at the source. By applying the gel twice a day (morning and evening) to the point of pain, diclofenac accumulates in the skin which acts as a reservoir from where there is a sustained release of drug into underlying tissue, deep into the joint. The added permeation enhancer in Voltaren 12H gel’s Emulgel technology allows up to 3x more active ingredient to penetrate the skin.
