Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength Gel 2.32% - 100g

What is Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength?

Product Overview

Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength is a topical, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) gel designed to provide targeted relief from joint pain. It is formulated to address pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, sprains, and strains. The active ingredient in Voltaren Emulgel Extra Strength is diclofenac diethylamine at a concentration of 2.32%.

Unlike oral pain medications that affect the entire body, Voltaren Emulgel is applied directly to the affected area, offering localized relief. This targeted approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to manage joint pain without the systemic effects often associated with oral pain relievers.

Active Ingredient and Mechanism of Action

The active ingredient in Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength is diclofenac diethylamine 2.32%, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When applied to the skin, diclofenac is absorbed and penetrates the skin to reach the underlying tissues. It works by blocking the production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This reduces swelling, stiffness, and pain in the affected joint. Essentially, diclofenac interrupts the inflammatory response at its source, providing relief where it's needed most.

Key Benefits of Voltaren Emulgel Joint Pain Extra Strength

Targeted Action and Reduced Systemic Effects

One of the key advantages of Voltaren Emulgel is its targeted action. Because it's applied directly to the site of pain, the active ingredient is absorbed locally, minimizing the exposure of the rest of the body to the medication.

This makes it a suitable option for patients who may be sensitive to the side effects of oral medications.
