Voltaren Gel 50G

Voltaren Gel is a topical medication used to treat pain and inflammation. It belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and works to relieve pain resulting from conditions such as arthritis and muscle aches. It is commonly used to alleviate pain from sports injuries or pain due to strain.

Voltaren Gel contains the active ingredient Diclofenac Diethylamine, which works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenase enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, Voltaren Gel helps to relieve pain and reduce swelling and inflammation in the treated area.
