Voltarol Medicated Plasters 140mg
Voltarol Medicated Plasters 140mg offer targeted, long-lasting relief from localised muscle and joint pain. These easy-to-apply medicated patches deliver a consistent dose of diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), directly to the affected area. Designed for flexibility and comfort, these plasters are ideal for treating conditions such as sprains, strains, and sports injuries.
Each plaster contains 140mg of diclofenac sodium, a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic ingredient. The medicine is gradually absorbed through the skin to relieve pain and reduce inflammation where it’s needed most.
Price range: £9.99 through £19.99
