Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel is a medicated treatment containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, in the form of an Emulgel. The active ingredient (diclofenac) penetrates the skin to provide relief for pain, inflammation and swelling.
It works differently from heat or cooling rubs, which contain ...ingredients that stimulate nerves in the skin to provide a sensation of heating or cooling. Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel instead allows a powerful anti-inflammatory (diclofenac) to penetrate the skin deep down in order to relieve pain and reduce inflammation where you need it.
Are you ready for the best part? Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel is non-greasy and doesn’t have a strong odour. This way, you can relieve your pain without much hassle. No one needs to see, or smell, how you are managing your pain, letting you be in the moment with whatever activity it is you love doing.
What is Emulgel anyway?
Emulgel is a technology developed for the Voltarol topical gel formulations. It is an emulsion that is able to penetrate deep into the skin and joint tissue to bring the active ingredient to the point of pain. In addition, Emulgel technology uses a unique combination of a gel and cream that provides a cooling and soothing effect when applied to the skin.
Voltarol Back & Muscle Pain Relief 1.16% Gel is available in smaller sizes (30g, 50g tubes) if you need to carry it around, or larger sizes (100g) in case you have re-occurring pains or strains.
