Voltaren Emulgel Forte 2% provides lasting pain relief of up to 12 hours (applied 2 times daily - morning and evening). It should be rubbed gently into the skin at the affected area.

The amount needed depends on the size of the painful area: 2 g to 4 g (a quantity ranging in size from a cherry to a walnut) of gel is sufficient to treat an area of about 400-800 cm². After application, the hands should be washed, unless they are the site being treated. The duration of treatment depends on the indication and clinical response. The gel should not to be used for more than 14 days for soft-tissue injuries or soft tissue rheumatism, or 21 days for arthritis pain, unless recommended by a doctor.

When used without medical prescription, patients should consult their doctor if the condition does not improve within 7 days, or if it gets worse.
Paediatric patients (under 12 years of age) Voltaren Emulgel Forte 2% is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age, due to insufficient data on efficacy and safety for this age group.

Elderly patients (over 65 years of age)
The usual adult dosage may be used.
