g of spray containing 32–40 mg of
diclofenac sodium) should be applied 3 times a day at regular
intervals. The maximum single dose of 1.0
g of the product should not be exceeded. The maximum daily dose is 15
pump strokes (3.0 g of spray
containing 120 mg of diclofenac sodium).
Voltarol Active 4% cutaneous spray should be massaged gently into the
skin. After this the hands should
be washed unless they are the site to be treated. After application
some minutes for drying should be
allowed before dressing or binding the treated area.
The treatment may be discontinued when the symptoms (pain and
swelling) have subsided. Treatment
should not be continued beyond 7 days without review. The patient is
requested to consult the doctor if no
improvement is seen after 3 days.
