FAQ
Which Voltaren strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Voltaren tablets come as generic diclofenac in 50mg and 100mg, in packs of 30 up to 360 tablets. This is generic diclofenac, not the original Voltaren. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How do I pay for a Voltaren order?
Pay for Voltaren by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or with Bitcoin or Ethereum. Card details never reach the shop's servers. Every order ships in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents.
Does Voltaren have other names?
Voltaren, Cataflam and Voltarol are brand names of diclofenac, which is also sold as Dynapar, Flector, Pennsaid and Solaraze. Here, diclofenac can be bought online as generic Voltaren, and also as Voveran and diclofenac tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
How does Voltaren compare with Voltaren SR?
Both contain diclofenac, but they release it differently. Voltaren SR is a 100mg tablet made to release the drug slowly, so one dose a day is enough, while plain 50mg Voltaren tablets are usually taken two or three times daily. Some people find a single daily tablet easier to keep up with.
Can I drink alcohol with Voltaren?
Alcohol and diclofenac are both hard on the stomach lining, and together they raise the chance of bleeding, nausea and dizziness. A single drink is unlikely to cause trouble for most people, but keep it light while you are taking the tablets and skip heavy sessions altogether.
Can I take Voltaren with ibuprofen or aspirin?
Two NSAIDs at once do not give better pain relief — they add to the same risks, especially bleeding and ulcers in the stomach. So diclofenac is not combined with ibuprofen, naproxen or a second diclofenac product, and low-dose aspirin taken for the heart counts as an NSAID too.
How long can I keep taking Voltaren?
There is no fixed limit, but the stomach and heart risks grow the longer diclofenac is taken daily. Many people use it in short bursts for a flare-up and take the lowest dose that keeps the pain manageable, rather than staying on a high dose for months.
Does Voltaren help back pain and muscle strains?
Yes. Diclofenac eases the pain and inflammation of strained muscles, sprained ligaments and a sore back, and it can help you keep moving while the tissue settles. It is not a muscle relaxant, so if the main problem is a tight, spasming muscle, it may not be the right choice.
About Voltaren
What Voltaren tablets are used for
Diclofenac belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) family. Tablets like these calm pain and swelling in joints, muscles and soft tissue, which is why they are used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition where the lining of the joints becomes inflamed), sprains and strains, tendonitis and everyday joint pain. What is sold on this page is generic diclofenac in 50mg and 100mg tablets — not the original Voltaren, but the same active ingredient.
How diclofenac eases pain
Injured or inflamed tissue releases prostaglandins — chemical messengers that make nerve endings more sensitive to pain and draw warmth and swelling to the spot. Diclofenac blocks the enzymes that make them, so the pain signal quietens and a swollen joint settles. Tablets do not repair a worn joint or slow the joint damage of rheumatoid arthritis; what they do is make the daily pain and stiffness easier to live with.
Taking your tablets
Swallow each dose with a meal or a glass of milk, since food takes the edge off stomach irritation. Adults commonly take 50mg two or three times a day, or one 100mg tablet once a day, with the doses spaced across waking hours. Heavy drinking is best avoided while you are on diclofenac; alcohol and NSAIDs together are harder on the stomach lining. Store the strips somewhere dry and away from heat.
Side effects to watch for
Indigestion, heartburn, stomach pain, nausea and loose stools are the usual complaints, along with the occasional headache or dizzy spell. The stomach and bowel can also bleed, which is uncommon but serious: black tarry stools or vomit that looks like coffee grounds need urgent treatment. Blood thinners such as warfarin work more strongly alongside diclofenac, and steroid tablets add to the stomach risk. Long or high-dose use raises the chance of a heart attack or stroke, and a spreading rash, wheezing or swelling of the face and throat points to an allergic reaction.
Other diclofenac listings
Voltaren SR is a 100mg slow-release tablet taken once a day rather than two or three times. Voveran is a 50mg tablet and Voveran SR is the 100mg slow-release version. The ingredient is the same throughout; what changes is the brand and the way the tablet releases the drug. The diclofenac page covers the whole range if you want to weigh up the strengths before ordering.
