Voltarol Emulgel is a pain relief gel that helps ease joint and muscle pain by targeting the cause of inflammation beneath the skin. It contains diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that penetrates deep into the skin to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Unlike heat or cooling rubs that only create a warming or cooling sensation, Voltarol Emulgel works directly to reduce inflammation, helping restore movement and comfort. The gel is non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and has no strong smell.
