About this product: 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.

Whether you're dealing with back, knee, neck or muscle pain, Voltarol is clinically proven to deliver effective anti-inflammatory action and support faster recovery (vs non-medicated gel).
How Voltarol, a Pain Killer Gel, 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).
