Voltaren Science - Diclofenac
Voltaren products contain diclofenac – that reduces inflammation1
Diclofenac is the active ingredient in topical and oral Voltaren products that relieves pain by targeting inflammation.1–5
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that targets key steps in inflammatory cascades.6
Diclofenac has effective anti-inflammatory action1
Its effect on the COX-2 enzyme means that, diclofenac not only provides pain relief but also treats inflammation – a root cause of pain.2-4
Acts through cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition, striking inflammation at its source
Learn how diclofenac reduces inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis through action on the COX enzymes with selectivity for COX-2, and inhibiting phospholipase A2 activity to reduce the production of inflammatory leukotrienes.1-4
