Description
Voltarol 1.16% Emulgel is a topical anti-inflammatory medication designed to relieve joint and muscle pain. It is commonly used to treat sprains, strains, tendonitis, and symptoms of mild osteoarthritis in the knees or hands. This gel is intended for adults and children aged 14 and over.
How It Works
The active ingredient in Voltarol 1.16% Emulgel is diclofenac diethylammonium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. When applied to the skin, the gel penetrates deeply to target the affected tissues, offering effective local relief without affecting the rest of the body.
Why Choose Voltarol 1.16% Emulgel
Voltarol Emulgel provides fast-acting, long-lasting relief directly where it’s needed. Its dual-action formula combines the cooling effect of a gel with the absorption power of an emulsion. The non-greasy, easy-to-apply texture enhances convenience and promotes treatment adherence, especially for individuals managing chronic conditions. It is particularly beneficial for people who prefer not to take oral pain relief or who are already on systemic medication.
Important Note
Voltarol 1.16% Emulgel should not be used on broken skin or near the eyes, mouth, or genitals. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional. Individuals with existing heart, kidney, or liver conditions should consult a doctor before use. Prolonged use should only occur under medical supervision, and any worsening of symptoms should prompt immediate review.
