Recommended for the relief of pain and swelling in muscles, joints and tendons. Chemicals causing pain and inflammation are produced by the body in response to injuries such as sprains and strains. Pain may also result from bruising. Voltarol® contains Diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory drug which helps to reduce your body's inflammatory response. Also recommended for localised forms of soft tissue rheumatism. Emulgel® technology allows the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin and boost delivery of Diclofenac to the painful area.
