Voltaren FAQS
Is Voltaren a painkiller or anti-inflammatory?The Voltaren gel and tablets deliver diclofenac sodium, which is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) which can help get through your skin to the root of your pain and inflammation. It is both a painkiller and anti inflammatory drug that can provide pain relief.
What is Voltaren best for?This depends on the type of Voltaren product you've chosen to best meet your needs. The diclofenac sodium is in the Voltaren gel and tablets, which means you can get fast and effective pain relief.

This means that it can be best used to temporarily relieve arthritis pain, muscle pain and more. The diclofenac sodium is also found in Voltaren tablets, which means it is an oral NSAIDS, and is one of the most commonly used treatments for pain relief and inflammation.
