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.

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.

@Ajanta: Thanks for reminds me of the time I got a message from a friend who is not a regular customer of our pharmacy.
I have been suffering from pain in my neck for the past 6 years and my neck is no exception. When I was in my early 30's I was very tired. I had a massage. I would rub my neck back and forth. I would rub it back and forth for a few minutes. I would rub my neck into the neck and then it would go back into the neck. It was a very painful experience, but I was not going to take it. I had a doctor that recommended Voltaren Emulgel and he recommended Tryahoo(y) (y). I did not have any problems and after a few months the pain in my neck started to improve. I did not see the doctor for a change in my doctor's advice and after three months the pain was much better. I think Tryahoo was the best thing that happened. I do not have a problem with the pain in my neck and its not going away. I do not have any problems with my neck. I just prefer to take pain relief. Tryahoo(y) does not do the trick for me.
@Ajanta,
It does not seem to work well for me, does it?
If you are not sure if it is the pain in your neck or your neck, that is important, so ask your doctor.
Thank you for your question.
You have sent me an email.
I will check that I am not having the problem. I also have a massage. The doctor said it would help. I can understand.
I did not realize that Tryahoo(y) has to be used on 50% of the area and the other half is not affected. Thanks for your help.
Thank you.
