Dosage and administration

Externally. For adults and children over 12 years of age, the drug is applied to the skin 2 times a day (every 12 hours: preferably in the morning and evening), lightly rubbing into the skin. The required amount of the drug depends on the size of the painful area. A single dose of the drug - 2-4 g (which is comparable in volume, respectively, with the size of a cherry or walnut) is enough to treat an area of 400-800 cm2. If the hands are not a pain localization zone, then after applying the drug they must be washed. The duration of treatment depends on the indications and the observed effect. The gel should not be used for more than 14 days for post-traumatic inflammation and rheumatic soft tissue diseases without a doctors recommendation. If after 7 days of use the therapeutic effect is not observed or the condition worsens, you should consult a doctor.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Due to the lack of data on the use of Voltaren Emulgel in pregnant women, the use of the drug during the first and second trimester of pregnancy is recommended only as prescribed by a doctor, comparing the benefits for the mother and the risk to the fetus. The drug is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy due to the possibility of a decrease in uterine tone, impaired fetal kidney function with the subsequent development of water scarcity and or premature closure of the fetal arterial duct.
