Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel - 100g

Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel contains the active substance diclofenac which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is specially formulated for rubbing into the skin and is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation and swelling in painful conditions affecting the joints and muscles. Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel can be used to treat:

• muscle and joint injuries (e.g. sprains, strains, bruises, backache, sports injuries)
• tendonitis (e.g. tennis elbow)

Unlike products that work by only cooling or heating the skin, Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief Gel with a No Mess Applicator contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called diclofenac which targets pain at its source. The Emulgel technology helps the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin to enhance delivery of diclofenac to the point of pain. The gel works by blocking production of some of the body’s chemicals that cause swelling (inflammation), pain and tenderness. Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief Gel with a No Mess Applicator has shown to be effective in providing relief and reducing neck pain compared to non-medicated gel.

The active ingredient in Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief Gel with a No Mess Applicator, diclofenac, has been used as a pain reliever for 30 years in the UK. The Emulgel formula provides both the benefits of a moisturising cream and a cooling gel.
