$31.00

Diclofenac Sodium is a prescription NSAID used to relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute joint or muscle injuries. By reducing prostaglandins—the chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation—it provides effective relief. Available as tablets, topical gels, and patches, Voltaren offers flexibility for both localized and systemic treatment.

Controlled Substance Warning

Diclofenac is not a controlled substance and is available by prescription or in lower-strength OTC formulations (Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel). It should be used exactly as directed, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible, to reduce risks of heart attack, stroke, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Avoid combining it with other NSAIDs unless advised by your doctor.
