FAQs
Can I use Voltarol Gel while taking other oral painkillers?
While it is often used alongside other treatments, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently taking other NSAIDs to avoid doubling up on the same class of medication.
How often can I apply the gel?
Generally, it is applied three to four times a day, but please refer to the specific patient information leaflet included with your packaging for precise dosage instructions.
Is it safe for use on the face?
No, this gel is designed for back, muscle, and joint pain on the body and should not be used on the face, eyes, or lips.
Can children use this gel?
Voltarol Back and Muscle Pain Relief Gel is intended for adults. Consult a healthcare professional before using it on individuals under the age of 18.
Will this gel stain my clothes?
The gel is designed to be absorbed, but it is recommended to let the application site dry completely before dressing to prevent potential residue on fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Gel is not drying or leaves a sticky residue
You are likely applying too much product. Use a smaller amount and massage it thoroughly until it is completely absorbed into the skin.
Skin becomes red or itchy after application
Stop use immediately. You may have a sensitivity to the active ingredient or base components. Wash the area with mild soap and water.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the gel, ensure the affected skin is clean, dry, and free of any abrasions or rashes. Apply a thin layer to the site of pain and massage gently. Always wash your hands immediately after application to avoid accidental contact with your eyes or mucous membranes. Store the product in a cool, dry place below 30 degrees Celsius, ensuring the cap is tightly closed to prevent the gel from drying out. Avoid using the product under occlusive (airtight) bandages or dressings, as this can increase absorption levels and potentially cause skin irritation.
