How does Voltaren Pain Relief Gel 12 Hourly work?

Voltaren Pain Relief Gel 12 Hourly works by delivering diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) right to the point of pain. Voltaren Pain Relief Gel 12 Hourly has a dual benefit, relieving pain and reducing inflammation.

The active ingredient in Voltaren Pain Relief Gel 12 Hourly, diclofenac, is also retained at the point of pain. With an added permeation enhancer included in our Voltaren Pain Relief Gel 12 Hourly formulation, more... active ingredient is able to penetrate deep into the skin. It forms reservoirs in the tissue underneath, which means a sustained source of pain relief targeting the point of pain, where you need it most.
