Frequently Asked Questions

How is Voltaren Emulgel different from Voltaren Osteo Gel?

Voltaren Emulgel contains diclofenac diethylamine for general muscle and joint pain from soft tissue injuries, sprains, and acute pain. Voltaren Osteo Gel is specifically formulated for osteoarthritis and contains a slightly different diclofenac formulation with 12-hour dosing. Both are topical NSAIDs but indicated for different conditions.

How do I apply Voltaren Emulgel?

Apply a small amount (2–4g per application, approximately the size of your hand) to the affected area and gently massage in. Wash hands after applying unless the hands are the treated area. Apply 3–4 times daily. Do not apply under occlusive dressings or bandages unless directed by your healthcare provider.

Can I use Voltaren Emulgel on any part of the body?

Apply only to the affected joint or muscle area. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or infected skin. Avoid the face, eyes, and mucous membranes. Do not apply on large areas of skin for extended periods.

Is Voltaren Emulgel safe for everyday use?

Voltaren Emulgel is for short-term use (up to 2 weeks) unless directed by a doctor. For longer-term pain management, consult your GP or pharmacist about alternative approaches. Topical NSAIDs have a lower systemic side-effect profile than oral NSAIDs.

Who should avoid Voltaren Emulgel?

Avoid if you have a known allergy to diclofenac or other NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen). Use with caution in the third trimester of pregnancy. Consult your pharmacist before use if you have asthma, kidney, liver, or heart conditions.
