Product overview
About Voltarol Back & Muscle 50g
The middle size of Voltarol's diclofenac gel: anti-inflammatory relief massaged directly into strained backs, pulled muscles and overworked shoulders. Bigger than the travel 30g, handier than the pump-sized 100g. Ages 14+.
Treating the injury, not the whole body
Rubbed into the skin over the strain, diclofenac reaches the inflamed tissue at working strength while very little enters the bloodstream — which is why guidance puts topical NSAIDs ahead of tablets for localised muscle and joint pain.
How to use
Adults 14+: massage a small amount into the painful area 2–3 times daily, on unbroken skin, washing hands afterwards. Give a muscle strain a few consistent days.
Good to know
The usual NSAID checks apply even through skin — flag it to a pharmacist if you take oral anti-inflammatories, have aspirin-sensitive asthma or are pregnant. Back pain with numbness or tingling into the legs is a doctor's job, not a gel's.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I buy?
Same 1.16% gel throughout — 30g travels, 50g suits regular use, 100g adds the No Mess applicator for a bad back you can't reach cleanly.
How long until it helps?
Some relief comes quickly; give a strain 2–3 days of consistent application to judge it properly.
Can I use it with ibuprofen tablets?
Combining topical and oral NSAIDs needs a pharmacist's OK first — the doses add up.
