Apply one Voltaren patch to the affected area, ensuring the skin is clean and dry. A single patch provides 100mg of diclofenac, offering pain relief for up to 12 hours. Avoid applying more than one patch at a time.
Remember to remove the previous patch before applying a new one. This ensures consistent medication delivery and prevents potential skin irritation. For optimal results, adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.
If pain persists beyond 7 days, or if you experience any unusual side effects such as skin rashes or increased pain, consult your doctor. Always follow the instructions provided by your physician or pharmacist; they can provide tailored advice based on your individual needs.
Important Note: Do not cut or break the patch; the medication is distributed evenly across the surface. This ensures proper and consistent pain relief. Applying more patches doesn’t increase effectiveness, and could lead to unwanted side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet for complete instructions.
