Voltarol Forte gel

Voltarol Forte gel is an over‑the‑counter topical analgesic (contains diclofenac diethylamine) marketed for relief of muscle and joint pain, sprains and strains. The tube shown in the image is the "Forte" formulation (higher diclofenac concentration) and displays regional labelling and the Haleon brand mark.

Voltarol (marketed as Voltaren in some countries) traces its origins to Swiss pharmaceutical development (Ciba‑Geigy / historical Voltaren lineage). Over decades the brand moved through major pharmaceutical groups and the consumer healthcare rights are now owned and managed by Haleon plc, a UK‑headquartered consumer healthcare company. Production of diclofenac topical gels for global markets is carried out at multiple manufacturing sites and via contract manufacturers in several countries, so the product is generally produced in multiple countries depending on market supply chains and local marketing authorisations.

Local regulatory and marketing details vary by country — for example, the Greek packaging shows a local Haleon affiliate (Haleon Ελλάς M.A.E.) as the responsible marketing authorisation holder. Manufacturers and exact factory locations can differ by batch and market, hence "Multiple countries" for manufacturing origin.
