The amount of diclofenac absorbed through the skin is proportional to the duration of skin contact and the skin surface covered with Voltaren Emulgel and depends on the total topical dose applied as well as the hydration of the skin.1

The absorption of diclofenac is multiplied by three if the treated are is covered by an occlusive dressing for 10 hours.1

More effective pain relief

Voltaren (3-4 applications daily) is indicated for symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis of small and medium-sized joints located close to the skin such as the finger joints or knee joints.1

The white cream, non-greasy Emulgel is easily rubbed into the skin and has, thanks to the aqueous-alcoholic basis, a soothing, cooling effect.1

The demonstrated inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis by diclofenac is considered as an important part of its mechanism of action.1
