The Voltaren Emulgel Formulation
While diclofenac does permeate the skin on its own, Voltaren is specially designed with its emulgel formulation to aid diclofenac's entry into and transit through the skin. It delivers diclofenac across the skin faster than a diclofenac solution of the same concentration.*8 Voltaren’s emulgel formulation contains an aqueous-alcoholic base that exerts a soothing and cooling effect when applied as it penetrates up to 1 cm beneath the skin, directly at the site of pain.
As it continues to penetrate the skin, it forms a diclofenac reservoir, which is continuously released into the underlying tissue.5-8

Engineered to go 10 layers deep4
After topical administration, diclofenac is distributed to the subcutaneous tissues, muscle, synovial tissues and synovial fluid, the latter tissues typically being most likely to be driving joint pain.9 Diclofenac has chemical properties supporting its retention within the joint where it is needed, rather than the blood stream.8,9
Voltaren 2.32% Emulgel is specially formulated to help the anti-inflammatory ingredient get through the skin.10 It contains a permeation enhancer for increased delivery of diclofenac through the skin.10*
