About Voltarol
Voltarol is the UK's trusted name in topical pain relief, part of the Voltaren family that has become the world's number one OTC topical pain relief brand. The active ingredient diclofenac was first synthesized in 1973 by scientists Alfred Sallmann and Rudolf Pfister, with the formula patented by Ciba-Geigy (now Novartis) in Germany in 1978. It has been trusted by UK consumers for over 30 years. The Voltarol story reflects the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry. Originally developed by Novartis, the brand was acquired by GSK in 2016 as part of a major portfolio transfer. In 2022, Voltarol became part of Haleon, the consumer healthcare company spun off from GSK to become an independent market leader. This heritage ensures continued investment in research, quality and consumer trust. Voltarol gels contain diclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the hormones causing inflammation and pain. The topical gel format allows targeted application directly to affected areas for back pain, muscle pain, joint pain and minor sprains. This delivers the active ingredient where it's needed most, providing effective relief. Compare Voltarol prices across UK retailers on Grocefully.
