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 reduces inflammation – a root cause of pain.3,4
The Voltaren range offers pain-relief products tailored to individual patient needs
