Product Information

Full details

Voltarol Osteoarthritis Gel is designed for adults and children aged 14 and over seeking targeted relief from joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Its primary benefit is providing fast, non-greasy, and non-staining pain relief directly to the affected joint, helping to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. A key consideration is that it should not be used on broken skin, near the eyes or nose, and its use is restricted to a maximum of two joints without medical advice. This topical gel contains 1.16% diclofenac diethylammonium and offers a localized treatment option.

FAQs

Who can use Voltarol Osteoarthritis Gel?

Voltarol Osteoarthritis Gel is suitable for adults and children aged 14 and over. It is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.

How often should I apply the gel?

You should apply an amount the size of a one or two penny piece to the affected area and rub gently into the skin 3 to 4 times daily over the affected joint.

Can I use this gel on any joint pain?

This gel is specifically indicated for joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. It should only be applied to the skin over the affected joint and not on broken skin or near sensitive areas.

What should I do if I miss an application?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, but do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one. Continue to use it as you would normally.

How long can I use this product?

Do not use for more than 14 days unless directed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist beyond 7 days or if they worsen.

Are there any precautions I need to take?

Yes, avoid using on broken skin, near the eyes or nose, and do not cover the treated area with bandages. Be cautious if you have asthma or have had reactions to NSAIDs in the past. Consult a doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, or have stomach ulcers.

Does the gel stain clothing?

No, the gel has a non-greasy and non-staining formula, making it comfortable for daily use without worrying about residue on your clothes or bedding.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation or rash develops after application.

Discontinue use immediately. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional. Avoid using if you have a known allergy to NSAIDs.

Gel is not being absorbed well or feels sticky.

Ensure you are applying the correct amount of gel and rubbing it gently into the skin until absorbed. Excessive amounts may take longer to dry.

Pain relief does not seem to be effective.

Ensure the gel is being applied correctly and regularly as per instructions. Consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve after 7 days or worsen.

Accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes.

Rinse the affected area thoroughly with plenty of clean water immediately. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
