Voltarol Medicated Plaster 140mg - Pack of 2

Voltarol Med Plaster 140 mg is a medicated pain relief patch containing diclofenac sodium (140 mg), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is applied directly to the skin over painful areas to provide local anti-inflammatory and pain relief.

Unlike heat or cooling patches, it actively delivers medicine through the skin to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain at the source.

🔹 How it works

• The plaster releases diclofenac continuously through the skin for up to 12 hours
• It penetrates into underlying tissues (muscles, ligaments, joints)
• Works locally to reduce inflammation rather than acting systemically like tablets
