Voltaren Emulgel (generic name: diclofenac) is an over-the-counter gel medication widely used to reduce pain from inflammation, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis and other conditions
It can be used in external application as a gel for treatment of inflamed muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments caused by arthritis, sprains and strains and sports injuries like tennis elbow. Soft tissue inflammation such as rheumatism, bursitis and tendonitis also respond well to Voltaren Emulgel.
Voltaren Emulgel containing diclofenac is applied externally to relieve pain, inflammation and joint stiffness. In the gel form, it is absorbed through the skin and not through the stomach, which avoids some of the side-effects of NSAIDs on gastric linings. It provides arthritis relief by blocking inflammation and not simply masking the pain, which is what analgesic gels and ointments do. Voltaren Emulgel is available without prescription from IsraelPharm in several forms:
Voltaren Eye Drops are usually prescribed for use following cataract extraction and other refractive surgical procedures, where they reduce post-operative inflammation. They are also used as a treatment for allergic conjunctivitis and in the prevention and treatment of cystoid macular oedema. They are available only on prescription from IsraelPharm in the following form:
Betaren is a form of Voltaren in tablet form (also called Abitren). It contains diclofenac for oral dosages targeting osteoarthritis and is available only on prescription from IsraelPharm in the following form:
How Does Voltaren Work?
Voltaren contains diclofenac, which is a member of the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that act to block pain associated with inflammation. Inflammation is an unavoidable consequence of how the body heals, but it also results in pain and fever. NSAIDs are non-opioid analgesic drugs that have the following main benefits:- They reduce high temperature and fever
- They decrease inflammation
- They relieve pain.
