What is Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32% Gel
Unlike tablets that go through the stomach, Voltarol Joint Pain Relief Gel concentrates relief deep in the joint to fight pain and inflammation all day long.
Voltarol Joint Pain Relief Gel is available in 2 sizes: 30 and 50g tubes
How does Voltarol Joint Pain Relief 2.32% Gel work
Voltarol Joint Pain Relief Gel can be applied twice daily (morning and evening) to last all-day. The gel creates a reservoir of diclofenac when applied regularly*, which gives the skin a source of the active ingredient throughout the day for lasting relief of pain and inflammation.
Unlike tablets that go through the stomach, Voltarol Joint Pain Relief Gel concentrates relief deep in the joint to fight pain and inflammation all day long.
The Emulgel technology used in this product helps the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin to enhance the delivery of the active ingredient, diclofenac, to the site of pain and swelling. In addition, the Emulgel technology is a unique combination of a gel and cream providing both a cooling and soothing effect when applied to the skin. The massaging effect of applying the Emulgel can provide additional soothing benefits at the site of pain and inflammation.
*As per instruction

It can also appear on the instep, soles, or other areas of the feet. The most common type of athlete’s foot causes cracking or scaling of the skin, but you may also have mild swelling, blisters, or weeping ulcers. Lamisil AT 1% Cream is recommended for athlete’s foot when it occurs between the toes. If you have a fungal nail infection (fungus inside and under the nail) with discolouration of the nails and changes in nail texture (thick or flaky), you should consult your doctor because Lamisil AT 1% Cream is not appropriate for this type of infection.

Dhobie itch looks like a clearly bordered rash, which may have blisters.
How to use Lamisil AT 1% Cream
Adults: For Athlete’s Foot and dhobie itch, apply the cream once a day, for one week.
- Cleanse and dry the affected areas thoroughly and wash your hands. Treatment can be helped by keeping the affected areas clean by regular washing and careful drying with your own clean towels and clothes, and not rubbing or scratching the skin.
- Unscrew the cap then gently squeeze out a small amount of the cream onto your finger.
- Apply just enough cream to form a thin layer on the affected skin and surrounding areas.
- Rub in gently. When used between the toes, buttocks or on the groin, the treated area may be covered with a light, fresh gauze strip, especially at night.
- Replace the cap on the tube and wash your hands
Even though you will not be using Lamisil AT 1% Cream during the second week, full skin healing after the infection has cleared will continue for up to 4 weeks.

Attach one medicated plaster to the painful area twice daily, one in the morning and one in the evening.
Voltarol Medicated Plaster can be worn under clothing. To apply the plaster remove one of the two protective films, then apply to the area to be treated and remove the remaining protective film. Apply slight pressure with the palm of your hand until the plaster sticks firmly to your skin. The maximum daily dosage is 2 medicated plasters, even if there is more than one painful area to be treated, only treat one painful area at a time.
Voltarol Medicated Plaster should not be used at the same time as other diclofenac-containing medicines or other topical or oral NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Do not use the plaster for longer than 7 days. Consult your doctor if pain and swelling do not improve or worsen within 7 days. Use for the shortest time required to relieve pain. The plaster is not recommended for use in children under 16 years of age.
