A sudden injury such as a sprain or bruise can significantly limit your daily freedom of movement. Persistent pain makes it difficult to stay active, which is frustrating when you want to continue your routine. The Voltaren Topical patch offers targeted support directly where you need it, so you can get back on track.
- Targeted pain relief: The active substance is absorbed directly through the skin at the site of the injury.
- Long-lasting effect: One patch provides support for up to 24 hours, so you do not have to reapply repeatedly.
- Ease of use: The patch can be worn discreetly under clothing and stays well in place, possibly with a net bandage.
- Focus on recovery: Specially developed for short-term use for acute injuries such as strains and bumps.
How it works
The Voltaren Topical patch contains diclofenac sodium, a substance that belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Unlike tablets, this patch works locally. The active substance penetrates from the patch through the skin layer to the underlying tissues to reduce pain there. This makes it an efficient choice for people aged 16 and over who are looking for a targeted approach to discomfort in the arms or legs after a fall or bump.
