Detailed instructions for VOLTAREN 24 hour pain patches, 5 pcs

Voltaren 24 hour pain patch
140 mg medicated patch diclofenac sodium

How do Voltaren pain patches work?
The Voltaren pain patch is a patch containing active ingredients that is suitable for 12-hour use. The active ingredient diclofenac is continuously released at the painful area and penetrates deep into the tissue. There, diclofenac not only relieves pain, but also fights inflammation - one of the main causes of pain.

When do I use Voltaren pain patches?
Voltaren pain patch is used in adults and adolescents aged 16 and over for the local, symptomatic short-term treatment of pain from acute strains, sprains or bruises on the arms and legs as a result of a blunt injury, e.g. a sports injury.

Application
Simply stick the plaster on the painful joint or affected area. The maximum daily dose is two medicated plasters, even if more than one injured area needs to be treated. For this reason, only one painful area can be treated at a time.

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or exactly as discussed with your doctor or pharmacist. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.
