Product introduction
Voveran Max Gel is a higher-strength topical version of diclofenac gel, carrying more than double the concentration found in the standard Voveran Emulgel. It is designed for people who need stronger local pain relief for stubborn muscle, joint or back pain without switching to an oral tablet. The gel is applied directly over the painful area, letting the medicine act where it is needed most. Its higher concentration means it is typically used less frequently through the day compared with regular-strength gels.
Storage: Store below 30°C, keep the tube tightly closed
