Voltarol Back and Muscle 1.16% Pain Relief – 30g Tube

Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief Gel contains the active ingredient diclofenac diethylammonium, a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation.

Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases and conditions, and cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Diclofenac blocks the production of these prostaglandins and is therefore effective at reducing inflammation and pain.

Usage Instructions:

• This medicine is for external use only.
• Do not apply the gel to broken, diseased or irritated skin, or to open wounds.
