How did we get here?
With over 20 years of experience, we have a unique understanding of body pain and how it affects every person differently. Constantly in search of solutions that are best adapted for the vast range of body pain relief needs we have developed a range of solutions that are available in several convenient formats.
Originally we developed a totally new and unique pain relief gel that combined a powerful pain relief medication with a gel that can be applied directly to the point of pain, Voltarol Emulgel. Since then we have continued to increase the diversity of our pain-relief solutions to better meet everyone’s needs and lifestyle. Our range now includes Drug-Free Heat Patches and Medicated Plasters.
We are proud to be part of Haleon (formerly part of GSK), the largest consumer health company in the world, bringing together deep human understanding and trusted science to deliver better everyday health with humanity.
Our expertise
We work with pain specialists to develop science-led pain relief solutions for you. We don’t just relieve pain with our Voltarol products, we innovate new solutions that fit seamlessly into your life.
That’s how we became the world’s number one topical pain reliever worldwide.3
The Haleon Global Pain Index is an in-depth global study into physical pain and... its impact on people’s lives. The results suggest that pain remains a problem for over 92% of adults worldwide – with 86% experiencing body pain.4 We want those numbers to go down.
We know that pain is so much more than a physical sensation. It is emotional, mental, and touches so many aspects of our lives. Our approach to creating content for you rests on this knowledge. We address your holistic health when it comes to pain management – how you eat, how you sleep, how you move, how you speak to your doctor – all on top of our range of products to target your pain. And we have experts onboard weighing it in and reviewing it all.
The science behind Voltarol
The active ingredient in Voltarol medicinal products is diclofenac. Diclofenac is a powerful nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which inhibits chemicals that signal to your brain that you’re in pain.
The Voltarol range includes topical (applied to the skin) treatments in the form of gels and medicated plasters. Diclofenac in clinically proven topical Voltarol gels and medicated plasters work by penetrating deep through the skin, relieving pain and reducing inflammation directly at the source.

Our ambition
Restoring the joy of movement defines who we are, what we do, and everything we strive to achieve.
Voltarol knows that movement is never just about movement. It’s goes much deeper than that. It’s the way we stay connected to our world – and those in it.
When we move, we connect on a deeper level with those around us. But when we feel pain, our movements change and we can’t help but pull back from our world and our friends. Voltarol not only helps... to take away your pain, it encourages you to connect with others again.
We strive to get you on the path towards movement that brings you the joy of genuine connection. And every single movement has a different meaning to different people. Because movement is never just about movement.
It’s that hug that means “I’ve missed you.”
That lift of a child that makes them giggle.
That kick of the ball that means “I’m still one of the team.”
Because it’s not just movement, it’s the joy of movement.
We aim to make your life better with the best science has to offer – and a whole lot of caring, because we recognise that pain is not just physical. It is emotional and mental. as well. We strive to be your trusted, go-to resource for all things pain relief – whether it’s tips for how to get a good night’s sleep, how to talk to your doctor, how often to reapply Voltarol Gel, or even how to stretch out your back and keep moving!
