Description
Nothing Stronger for Joint Pain - Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32% Gel can help provide targeted all-day relief from pain and inflammation in joints and muscles caused by overuse during physical activity such as walking, exercise or gardening.
How Voltarol Works. Unlike tablets which travel through the stomach, Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32% Gel penetrates deeply into the skin towards the joint.
Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32% Gel contains a Non-Steroidal AntiInflammatory Drug - diclofenac diethylammonium - which is retained in the joint tissue, to provide targeted all day relief at the source of pain.
How to Use
Voltarol Gently rub or massage a small amount of gel into the skin around the painful or swollen area, an amount ranging in size from 1 or 2 pence piece; the amount of gel needed will vary depending upon the size of the painful or swollen area (maximum daily dosage 8g).
