The Voltaren Emulgel Formulation Matters
On its own, diclofenac does permeate the skin. However, Voltaren Emulgel is specially designed to aid the entry of diclofenac into and transit through the skin. It delivers diclofenac across the skin faster than a diclofenac solution of the same concentration.*1

The lowest number-needed-to-treat (NNT) vs other topical NSAIDs in acute musculoskeletal pain,2
A Cochrane Review comparing topical NSAIDs and placebo showed favourable efficacy for Voltaren Emulgel*† vs other treatments. Of all topical NSAIDs tested for treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain, Voltaren Emulgel had the lowest NNT.2‡, with pain relief reported as similar to oral NSAIDs.
This means that for every single patient you treat with Voltaren Emulgel over other topical NSAIDs, you have a better chance of giving them the significant pain relief that helps get them back on their feet and enjoying life again.2
