How it works
Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength and Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Regular Strength contain the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diclofenac diethylamine. Diclofenac diethylamine works to relieve pain and reduce inflammation (swelling). The technology in Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength and Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Regular Strength helps the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver diclofenac diethylamine to the site of pain.
For adults and adolescents 16 years and older:
- Apply gel 3 to 4 times a day.
- The amount needed will vary depending upon the size of the painful or swollen area: 2g to 4g (1g equals a strip approximately 2 cm long) gel will be sufficient to cover a 400 to 800 cm² area.
- Use as per product package directions.
1g Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Regular Strength contains 11.6mg/g of the active ingredient, diclofenac diethylamine.
Do not exceed the stated dose. Always read the enclosed insert before use to check if this product is suitable for you.
