Adults and children over 12 years of age: Depending on the size of the painful area to be treated, gently rub in 2 to 4 g of Voltaren Emulgel (an amount the size of a cherry or walnut) 3 to 4 times a day. If the patient has muscular pain, he/she can rub the area slightly more firmly. Wash the hands thoroughly afterwards, unless the patient is using the product to treat arthritis of the finger joints. If the patient uses more Voltaren Emulgel than he/she should, wipe off the surplus gel with a tissue.
To remove the seal before first use, unscrew and remove the cap.
Use the reverse side of the cap to insert, twist and remove the seal from the tube.
If the patient does not notice any improvement after one week or if the symptoms get worse, consult the doctor. Without a prescription, do not use Voltaren Emulgel for more than two weeks.
Children under 12 years of age: The use and safety of Voltaren Emulgel in children under 12 has not yet been systematically tested.
The patient should use the dose specified on the package leaflet or prescribed by the doctor. If the patient thinks that the efficacy of the medicinal product is too weak, or on the other hand, too strong, please consult the doctor or pharmacist for advice.
