What is an Emulgel?
Emulgels are emulsions of oil and water that are incorporated into a gel base.6
The Emulgel formulation allows diclofenac, which is not very water-soluble, to be delivered in a gel form for enhanced absorption through the skin.6,7
Products to suit different patient needs
The Voltaren family of products contains a range of oral and topical formulations to suit your patients’ requirements.
They relieve common types of pain including joint pain; sprains and strains; back and neck pain; migraine headache and period pain.2,3
The science behind Voltaren
Relieving pain with the anti-inflammatory effects of diclofenac1
Diclofenac reduces inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis through action on the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. Diclofenac exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by COX. It also reduces the production of leukotrienes by inhibiting phospholipase A2 activity.2-4
Diclofenac not only provides pain relief but also treats inflammation – a root cause of pain.3,4
The Voltaren range offers pain-relief products tailored to individual patient needs
