Product overview
About Voltarol Back & Muscle Gel (30g)
The starter tube of Voltarol's rub-in NSAID: 1.16% diclofenac gel that penetrates to fight pain and inflammation exactly where you apply it — strained backs, pulled muscles, sprains and knocks. The 30g size suits first-time users and gym bags; the 100g suits repeat offenders.
Local beats systemic for local pain
Rubbed-in diclofenac concentrates at the injury with only a fraction reaching the bloodstream — real anti-inflammatory action, far less stomach exposure than tablets. For one sore spot, it's the smarter route.
How to use
Adults and children 14+: a cherry-sized amount massaged gently into the painful area, 3–4 times daily. Wash hands after; no airtight dressings.
Good to know
NSAID rules still apply: not with aspirin/ibuprofen sensitivity, broken skin, or late pregnancy — and don't stack with oral NSAIDs unadvised. No improvement in a week? Get the injury looked at.

Frequently asked questions
30g or 100g?
Same gel — 30g trials it or lives in the gym bag; 100g is better value for ongoing niggles. A cherry-sized blob per application, 3–4 times daily.
Can I use it with painkiller tablets?
With paracetamol, yes. Avoid adding oral NSAIDs like ibuprofen without advice — topical plus oral still adds up.
How long until it helps?
Relief builds over days of regular use. If a week passes without improvement, have the injury assessed.
