Voltaren Emulgel – Topical Pain Relief

Voltaren Emulgel is a new topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel that makes a perfect addition to your medicine cabinet. In addition to helping soothe the inflammation (and therefore, pain) that is associated with pulled muscles and sprained muscles, a recent study has shown that topical application of Voltaren gel reduces the pain and inflammation associated with sunburn. While this isn’t so important at this time of year, it’s certainly something to keep in mind during sunnier months or if you are planning a tropical vacation.

Voltaren Emulgel contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac (1.6% w/v). Available as an oral tablet, diclofenac has been used to treat pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. While effective, diclofenac taken orally can irritate the gastrointestinal tract leading to stomach upset and even gastric bleeding. In fact, many individuals cannot tolerate taking diclofenac orally. Because topically applied diclofenac bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, it is better tolerated by most individuals. Voltaren Emulgel’s gel formulation allows for rapid absorption and effective penetration at the site of injured muscles and damaged skin, where relief is required (as with sprains, strains and sunburn). It delivers pain relief and speeds up recovery.

Voltaren Emulgel Safety Considerations

Use Voltaren Emulgel as per package instructions. Caution is advised if you have any preexisting medical conditions, if you are currently taking diclofenac or any other oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).  If you are not sure check with your doctor or pharmacist.
