Description

Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly is a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation. Formulated with diclofenac diethylamine at a concentration of 23.2 mg/g, this gel is specifically crafted for those experiencing mild osteoarthritis in the knees and fingers, as well as acute soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and sports injuries.

Advanced Emulgel Technology

This product utilizes advanced Emulgel technology, which enhances the permeation of diclofenac through the skin, allowing for deeper and faster penetration. The gel is odourless and combines the qualities of both a gel and a cream, making it easy to apply and rapidly absorb. Users will appreciate the cooling and soothing effect it provides upon application.

Precautions

• For external use only; avoid contact with open wounds, eyes, and mucous membranes.
• Not recommended for use in children under 12 years, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
