How It Works

Voltaren Emulgel’s effectiveness stems from its active ingredient, diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The Emulgel technology allows the medication to penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the affected muscles, joints, or ligaments. This targeted delivery helps reduce inflammation and alleviate pain more effectively than traditional topical formulations.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area 3-4 times daily, gently massaging until absorbed. Wash hands after application unless treating hands. The amount needed depends on the size of the painful or swollen area. Typically, 2-4 grams (cherry to walnut size) is sufficient for each application.

Duration of Action

Effects can be felt within 1 hour of application. For acute conditions, use for up to 2 weeks. For chronic conditions, consult your healthcare provider for long-term use instructions.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience:

• Skin irritation or rash at the application site
• Itching or burning sensation
• Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight)

If any side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Warning

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin. Do not use if you are allergic to diclofenac or other NSAIDs. Consult a doctor before use if you have asthma or are in the last trimester of pregnancy.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.

Interaction

• May interact with oral NSAIDs if used concurrently
• Potential interaction with blood thinners
• Inform your doctor if using other topical medications in the same area

Important Information

Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use on open wounds or damaged skin. If symptoms persist or worsen after 7 days of use, consult a healthcare professional. For best results, use in conjunction with other pain management strategies such as rest, physical therapy, or prescribed exercises. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds on treated areas. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of face or throat), seek immediate medical attention.
