About Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32 %

Uses for Voltarol 12-Hour Pain Relief Gel

Voltarol Emulgel 2.32% is a topical gel used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation affecting muscles and joints. It effectively treats:

• Sprains and strains
• Bruises
• Back pain
• Joint and rheumatic pain

How does Voltarol Max Strength Gel work for muscle pain?

Voltarol Max Strength Pain Relief Gel contains diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which reduces inflammation and numbs pain in the affected area. The gel is absorbed through the skin to target the source of discomfort directly.

Voltarol Emulgel P2 Warnings

• Keep out of sight and reach of children.
• Do not use in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are in the first 6 months of pregnancy or breastfeeding, and keep the dose as low and the duration of the treatment as short as possible.

Clothing and bedding that come into contact with the gel can catch fire easily. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce the concentration of diclofenac, but it will not completely eliminate the residue.
