topical pain reliever world wide! |
Voltaren has been approved by Health Canada for
over-the-counter sale and is now available for the
first time without a prescription.
| How is Voltaren different than other topical analgesics? |
 |
Voltaren is a clinically-proven medicinal gel for the relief of muscle, joint, and back pain from sprains, strains, or sports injuries. |
|
It reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation principally by inhibiting formation of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and free oxygen radicals. |
|
Voltaren doesn’t act by heating the surface of the skin like other topical creams, it instead acts by quickly penetrating deep under the skin, actually targeting the source of the pain and concentrating the medicine where the long-lasting relief is needed. |

Voltaren (diclofenac dithylamine gel 1.16%) - depending on the size of the affected site - should be applied 3-4 times a day. How long you should Voltaren depends on the duration of the natural course of healing, rest and also on clinical response. Voltaren should not be used for more than 7 days for muscle and joint injuries, unless recommended by a doctor.
