Voltarol Muscle Pain Relief 140mg Medicated Plaster is a medicated patch containing diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory medicine that targets muscle and joint pain directly at the site of discomfort. Adults and adolescents from 16 years with acute sprains, strains or bruises from sports or everyday activities can benefit from its localised, long-lasting relief. The patch delivers diclofenac through the skin over many hours, helping to reduce inflammation, ease pain and support more comfortable movement during recovery. This convenient, discreet format suits those who prefer targeted therapy over oral painkillers and who want sustained relief throughout the day or night.
**Key Features**
- **Targeted anti-inflammatory relief**: Contains 140mg diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which penetrates into the tissues to reduce inflammation and pain at the site of application.
- **Long-lasting pain control**: Designed to release diclofenac continuously for up to 12 hours, offering sustained relief from muscle and joint pain without frequent reapplication.
- **Clinically proven efficacy**: Diclofenac plasters have demonstrated superior pain relief versus placebo in clinical studies on acute soft-tissue injuries, supporting effective management of sprains and strains.
- **Comfortable and discreet design**: Thin, flexible, self-adhesive plaster that adheres well, is odourless and discreet under clothing, allowing comfortable wear during work, exercise or rest.
- **Reduced systemic exposure**: Topical delivery aims the active ingredient at the affected area, leading to lower systemic diclofenac levels than typical oral tablets, which may be preferable for those wishing to limit whole-body NSAID exposure.
### Who is Voltarol Muscle Pain Relief 140mg Medicated Plaster suitable for?
This medicated plaster is suitable for adults and adolescents from 16 years of age who have acute muscle or joint pain associated with sprains, strains or bruises following blunt trauma, such as sports injuries. People looking for localised pain relief rather than taking oral NSAIDs often find this format appealing.
### What types of pain does Voltarol Muscle Pain Relief 140mg Medicated Plaster help with?
The plaster is intended for short-term treatment of pain in the extremities caused by acute strains, sprains or bruises, for example in ankles, knees, wrists, elbows or other limb joints and muscles. It is particularly useful when inflammation is a key part of the problem and when focused relief at a single painful area is desired.
### How does Voltarol Muscle Pain Relief 140mg Medicated Plaster work?
The patch delivers diclofenac through the skin directly to the underlying tissues, where it helps block substances involved in pain and inflammation. This targeted transport supports sustained relief over several hours while keeping blood levels lower compared with oral forms.
