Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel 50g: Targeted Relief for Joint Pain
Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel is a specialized topical medication designed to provide temporary relief from joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Unlike oral painkillers that travel through the entire body, Voltaren Gel is applied directly to the site of pain, allowing the active ingredient to penetrate deep into the joint tissue.
How It Works
The active ingredient in Voltaren Gel is Diclofenac Sodium (1%), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals in your body that cause pain and inflammation. The unique Emulgel technology combines the benefits of a cream and a gel, ensuring fast absorption and a cooling sensation upon application.
Key Benefits
- Targeted Relief: Treats pain specifically in the hands, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and feet.
- Improved Mobility: Helps reduce stiffness and improve joint function.
- Low Systemic Absorption: Minimizes the risk of side effects often associated with oral NSAIDs.
How to Use Voltaren Gel
- Use the included dosing card to measure the correct amount of gel.
- Apply the gel 4 times daily to the affected joint.
- Gently rub the gel into the skin.
- Wash your hands after application, unless the hands are the treated joint.
