With Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly you can forget about managing your osteoarthritis pain and get on with your day. That’s because Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly is formulated to last longer. Its concentrated formula, with twice the strength, needs application only once every 12 hours, for relief of mild osteoarthritis of the knees and fingers.
Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diclofenac. Diclofenac works to relieve pain and reduce inflammation (swelling). The patented technology in Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly helps the gel to penetrate deeply into the skin to enhance delivery of diclofenac to the site of pain. Voltaren Osteo Gel 12 Hourly has no strong odours. It contains twice the amount of diclofenac as Voltaren Emulgel, so it only requires application once every 12 hours.
Direcitons
Adults and children over 12 years: rub the gel gently into the affected area. Apply twice a day (preferably morning and evening).
The amount you will need will depend on the size of the affected area. Usually an amount ranging in size from a cherry to a walnut will be enough.
Use for up to three weeks, if needed.
