Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel is a powerful topical analgesic from the trusted UK brand. Its diclofenac diethylammonium formula penetrates deep into muscle tissue to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Apply twice daily for effective relief from back, muscle, and joint pain.
Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel provides up to 2x faster targeted pain relief for stiff muscles, joints, sprains, strains, and sports injuries (vs placebo). This scientifically proven formula works deep in the muscle tissue to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore movement. Unlike non-medicated gels, Voltarol contains a unique 1.16% diclofenac formulation which penetrates deeply into the joint, offering powerful relief directly at the source of pain.
How Voltarol works: Unlike tablets which travel through the stomach, Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel penetrates deeply into the skin towards the joint. Voltarol 1% Gel contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug - diclofenac diethylammonium - which is retained in the joint tissue, to provide targeted relief at the source of pain (apply once morning and evening).
How to use: Gently rub or massage a small amount of gel into the skin around the painful or swollen area, an amount ranging in size from 1 or 2 pence piece; the amount of gel needed will vary depending upon the size of the painful or swollen area. Apply 2 times daily (preferably morning and evening) unless your doctor tells you otherwise (maximum daily dosage 8 g). Consult your doctor if pain and swelling do not improve or worsen after 7 days. Do not use the gel for longer than 7 days unless longer treatment has been recommended by a doctor. The gel is not recommended for use in children under 14 years of age.
