Voltaren Extra Strength (Arthritis, Muscle Pain, Joint Pains)
What is Voltaren Emulgel?
Voltaren is a gel slowly rubbed directly into your skin to help keep your muscles and joints pain-free for up to 12 hours without consuming any pills. The gel relieves muscle pains, aches, or sports injuries. It contains diclofenac diethylamine (NSAID), a steroid-free drug released slowly on the affected area and works two times faster than the regular strength.
What are the types of Voltaren Emulgel?
- One gram of the Regular Strength includes 11.6 mg/g of diclofenac diethylamine.
- Voltaren gel extra strength has 23.2 mg/g of the active ingredient diclofenac diethylamine in one gram.
- The regular gel comes in easy-to-identify blue and purple tubes.
- Extra strength has white and blue colors for identification, and the package has a written label "12 hours extra strength."
When to use Voltaren Extra Strength?
It works on pain associated with acute, localized trifling muscle or joint hurts such as sprains, strains, or sports injuries (e.g., sprain of the ankle, the stress of shoulder or back muscles). A respite from the movement that led to discomfort will help recover faster.
How does Voltaren emulgel help recover?
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) that works within the body by intercepting the production of certain substances, called prostaglandins, which produce pain and inflammation.
The gel is soaked via the skin and forms a pool of diclofenac diethylamine beneath the skin when used two times a day, from where the medicine is discharged gradually over time to reduce pain and inflammation.
How to Apply Voltaren Emulgel Extra Strength?
For adults between 18 and 65, apply 2 grams of gel twice daily on the affected joints or muscles.
Read the instructions carefully or consult a pharmacist or a doctor before using this gel.
