Voltaren Pain Relief Gel is a medicated product containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, in the form of an emulsion gel. The active ingredient (diclofenac) penetrates the skin to provide relief for pain and inflammation.
It works differently from heat or cooling rubs, which contain ingredients that irritate the skin to provide a sensation of heating or cooling. Voltaren Pain Relief Gel instead allows an anti-inflammatory (diclofenac) to penetrate the skin deep down in order to relieve pain and reduce inflammation where you need it.
Are you ready for more? Voltaren Pain Relief Gel is non-greasy and doesn’t have a strong odour. This way, you can relieve your pain without much hassle. No one needs to see, or smell, how you are managing your pain, letting you be in the moment with whatever activity it is you love doing.
What is Emulgel anyway?
Emulgel is a technology developed for the Voltaren Topical Gel formulations. It is an emulsion that is able to penetrate deep into the skin to bring the active ingredient to the point of pain. In addition, Emulgel technology uses a unique combination of a gel and cream that provides a cooling and soothing effect when applied to the skin.
Voltaren Pain Relief Gel is available in smaller sizes (20 g, 50 g tubes) if you need to carry it around, or larger sizes (100 g, 150 g and 180 g tubes) in case you have re-occurring pains or strains. If you would rather apply Voltaren Pain Relief Gel directly from the tube, without using your hands to apply it to your skin, use our Voltaren Pain Relief Gel with No Mess Applicator.
Rub gently into the affected area 3 or 4 times daily. Do not use for more than 2 weeks for acute soft tissue injuries and localised soft tissue rheumatism and not more than 3 weeks for mild osteoarthritis of the knees and fingers except on medical advice.
Voltaren Pain Relief Gel contains 11.6mg/g of active ingredient diclofenac diethylamine, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID).
