Voltarol Joint & Back Pain Relief 2.32% Gel

Voltarol (widely marketed as Voltaren outside the UK) is a renowned brand of topical anti-inflammatory gel containing diclofenac, designed for the relief of joint and muscle pain.

The active ingredient diclofenac and the original Voltaren/Voltarol formulations were first developed in Switzerland by Ciba-Geigy (which later became part of Novartis). Over the years, consumer healthcare divisions underwent major restructuring: Novartis merged its consumer healthcare business with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which eventually spun off its consumer healthcare operations into Haleon plc in 2022.

Today, Voltarol is owned by Haleon plc, a leading British multinational consumer health company headquartered in Weybridge, United Kingdom. While the brand originated in Switzerland, European supply typically originates from Haleon's dedicated pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Switzerland and other parts of Europe.
