Voltral Emulgel 2% Specification

  • Requires Prescription (YES/NO): No

  • Generics: Diclofenac Diethylamine 2%

  • Used For: Pain, inflammation, muscle and joint pain

  • Drug Class: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) – Topical

How It Works

Voltral Emulgel 2% contains diclofenac, a topical NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, which decreases the production of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for pain and swelling. The Emulgel formulation allows better absorption into the skin.
