What Causes Joint Pain & Inflammation?

Joint pain can be triggered by various conditions, including:

• Injury or strain

• Arthritis (including osteoarthritis)

• Inflammation caused by repetitive movement

Inflammation is the body’s natural healing response, but it can cause discomfort.

The five main symptoms of inflammation include:

• Redness

• Heat

• Swelling

• Pain

• Limited mobility

How Does Voltarol 12 Hour Gel Work?

Voltarol contains diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that:

• Reduces pain & inflammation at the site of discomfort

• Creates a reservoir of diclofenac for long-lasting relief

• Uses Emulgel technology for a soothing, cooling effect

Massaging the gel into the skin provides additional soothing benefits.

How to Use Voltarol 12 Hour Gel

• Apply a thin layer to the painful or swollen area

• Gently rub or massage into the skin until absorbed

• Use twice daily (morning & evening) for continuous relief

Do not exceed the stated dose (8g per day).
