Voltaren Topical Arthritis Pain Relief Gel, 1.7 OZ

Treat joint pain safely with Voltaren topical arthritis pain relief gel, containing diclofenac, which combines the properties of an arthritis cream and a gel in a non-greasy formula called Emulgel. Voltaren contains the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac, which helps reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis and other similar joint conditions by temporarily blocking the production of inflammation-causing prostaglandins. Diclofenac is a nonopioid drug that's available over the counter, and its arthritis cream form directly targets pain from the source. Thanks to its specialized Emulgel formulation, this topical pain reliever is easily absorbed through the skin and leaves a pleasant cooling and moisturizing effect without that greasy feeling. As an alternative to oral medications, Voltaren arthritis pain relief cream doesn't pass through the stomach or enter the bloodstream, resulting in a lowered risk of side effects. It's FDA-approved for use up to two times longer than OTC pills, and it's available without a prescription. This arthritis gel is also ideal for those who are unable to swallow tablets. For proper application, use the included dosing card as a measurement guide. HSA/FSA Eligible
