Voltaren 2% Emulgel 30g

Voltaren 2% Emulgel is a topical anti-inflammatory gel belonging to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, formulated with diclofenac diethylammonium as its active ingredient. It is designed to be applied directly to the skin, making it a convenient option for targeted relief. Like all medicines, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals, including skin irritation, redness, itching, or a dry skin reaction at the application site. Before using this product, it is good to know whether it suits your skin type, especially if you have sensitive skin or are currently using other topical products. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any known allergies to NSAIDs, we recommend speaking with your pharmacist or doctor before starting use — your safety always comes first.

How to Take Voltaren 2% Emulgel

Voltaren 2% Emulgel is applied externally onto the skin over the affected area only — it is not meant to be swallowed, applied near the eyes, or used on broken or damaged skin. Gently massage a small amount of the gel into the skin until fully absorbed, and always wash your hands thoroughly after application unless the hands are the area being treated. Follow the directions on the packaging or as advised by your pharmacist to ensure safe and effective use.

Dosage of Voltaren 2% Emulgel

The generally recommended dosage is to apply 2 to 4 grams of gel (approximately a 2–4 cm strip) to the affected area up to 3 to 4 times daily, depending on the size of the area being treated. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and if symptoms persist beyond 7 days, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Shelf Life of Voltaren 2% Emulgel

Voltaren 2% Emulgel typically has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored under the recommended conditions. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging before use, and do not use the product beyond its expiry date even if it appears unchanged in texture or smell.

How to Store Voltaren 2% Emulgel

• Store at room temperature below 30°C
• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture
• Do not refrigerate or freeze the gel

Drug & Food Interaction of Voltaren 2% Emulgel

Although Voltaren 2% Emulgel is a topical preparation and systemic absorption is significantly lower compared to oral NSAIDs, interactions are still possible — particularly with prolonged or large-area application.

Potential Drug Interactions:

• Other topical NSAIDs or topical corticosteroids — concurrent use on the same skin area may increase the risk of local adverse reactions
• Oral NSAIDs or aspirin — simultaneous use may increase the overall NSAID load in the body, raising the risk of systemic side effects
• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) — although rare with topical use, monitoring is advised if large areas are treated over prolonged periods
• Cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or other nephrotoxic agents — caution is advised due to potential additive effects on kidney function with extensive topical application
• Lithium or methotrexate — topical diclofenac may theoretically affect plasma levels with excessive use

Food Interactions:

• There are no known significant food interactions with Voltaren 2% Emulgel when used as directed
• However, alcohol consumption may increase the risk of systemic side effects if the gel is used extensively over large body surface areas

📌 Always inform your pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements you are currently taking before using Voltaren 2% Emulgel.
