NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDiclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases and conditions, and cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Diclofenac blocks the production of these prostaglandins and is therefore effective at reducing inflammation and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen diclofenac is applied to the skin (topical application) it is absorbed through the skin into the underlying tissues, where it reduces pain and inflammation in the local area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVoltarol pain-eze emulgel can be bought without a prescription to relieve local pain and inflammation caused by a variety of muscle, joint, tendon and ligament injuries, such as sprains, strains and bruises. It can also be used for rheumatism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe gel should be rubbed gently into the skin over the affected area. The diclofenac will be absorbed into the underlying tissues, where it will relieve pain and inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis medicine is for external use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDo not apply the gel to broken, diseased or irritated skin, or to open wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou should not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages or other dressings, as these will enhance the absorption of the medicine into the body and may increase the risk of adverse effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWash your hands thoroughly after applying this medicine, unless the hands are the area being treated\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAvoid contact of this medicine with the eyes and the moist membranes lining the inside of certain parts of the body, eg mouth, nasal passages (mucous membranes). Rinse with cold water if accidental contact occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen diclofenac is applied to the skin it is absorbed into the bloodstream to a far lesser degree than diclofenac taken by mouth. This means it is much less likely to cause side effects on the gut than oral diclofenac. However, it is important that people with a history of disorders affecting the stomach or intestines are closely monitored by a doctor while using this medicine, particularly if elderly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eConsult your doctor immediately if you experience side effects such as stomach pain, indigestion, heartburn or signs of bleeding in the stomach or intestines, eg blood in the stools, while using this medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf large areas of the body are covered with gel, absorption into the bloodstream will be greater and the risk of side effects increased, especially if the gel is used frequently. Do not use the gel more than four times in a 24 hour period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou should avoid excessive exposure to bright sunlight while using this medicine, as it may increase the risk of sunburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf symptoms persist after seven days of treatment or get worse at any time, seek medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist. You should not use this medicine for longer than seven days unless recommended by a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUse with caution if there is a \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehistory of asthma or allergies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehistory of ulceration or bleeding in the stomach or intestines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNot to be used:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eif aspirin or other NSAIDs, eg ibuprofen, cause allergic reactions such as asthma attacks, itchy rash (urticaria), nasal inflammation (rhinitis) or swelling of the lips, tongue and throat (angioedema).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eon children under 12 years old.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eduring pregnancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.

However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis medicine is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It should not be used in the third trimester of pregnancy because it may delay labour, increase the length of labour and cause complications in the newborn baby. It is not recommended for use in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy unless considered essential by your doctor. Seek medical advice from your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen diclofenac is taken by mouth it passes into breast milk in very small amounts that are unlikely to be harmful to a nursing infant. The manufacturer has not studied the safety of using diclofenac gel when breastfeeding, but it is unlikely to be absorbed sufficiently to have any effect on a nursing infant. However, the manufacturer recommends it is not used by women who are breastfeeding. As with all medicines, you should seek medical advice from your doctor before using this medicine if you are breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMedicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways.
