How &

When

How it works?

Voltaren 12H Gel contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac. Unlike cooling gels and heat patches that work only by physical action (cooling or heating the skin), diclofenac works by relieving pain and reducing inflammation at the source. Topical diclofenac penetrates deep into the skin and targets delivery directly to the affected tissue underlying the treated area. Compared with Voltaren Emulgel, Voltaren 12H Gel has double the concentration of the active ingredient diclofenac diethylamine.
How to use it?

Voltaren 12H Gel does not have a strong odour, and usually an amount ranging in size from a cherry to a walnut will be enough, but it will depend on the size of the affected area. Use up to 14 days for soft tissue injuries, like sprains or strains, and 21 days for arthritis. Only use for longer periods on the advice of a doctor. Voltaren 12H Gel is available in a user-friendly tube. The easy-to-open cap facilitates the application of the gel: just half a turn is enough to open the tube of gel – a big relief if joint pain limits the movement of your fingers. Always read the label. If pain gets worse or does not ease after seven days, you should consult your doctor.

When to use it?

Apply Voltaren 12H Gel twice daily (morning and evening) by rubbing into the affected area. This can relieve pain due to soft tissue injuries, such as strains, sprains, bruises and backache and localised soft tissue rheumatism, for example tendonitis (tennis elbow) and bursitis. Moreover, Voltaren 12H Gel is indicated for the relief of pain of non-serious arthritis of the knee or fingers.
