How much diclofenac is in voltaren?

How much diclofenac is in Voltaren gel (typical strengths)?

Voltaren gel contains diclofenac as the active ingredient. The common U.S. over-the-counter strengths are:

- Voltaren Arthritis Pain: 1% diclofenac (diclofenac sodium) by weight.
- This means there is about 10 mg of diclofenac per gram of gel.

How to convert “% diclofenac” into mg per dose

If a product is labeled 1% diclofenac, that corresponds to:
- 1 gram of gel contains 10 mg diclofenac.
- Total diclofenac in any measured amount depends on how many grams you apply (and how often you apply it).

What about Voltaren tablets or injections?

Voltaren is also sold in other forms (for example, tablets and injections), and the diclofenac amount depends on the specific product strength and dosage (for example, mg per tablet or per dose). The gel percentage (like 1%) applies to the topical gel formulation, not tablets.

Which exact Voltaren product do you mean?

“Voltaren” comes in multiple formulations and strengths, so the diclofenac content varies by product. If you tell me the exact label (for example, “Voltaren Arthritis Pain 1% gel” or provide a photo/text of the “Active ingredient” line), I can state the exact diclofenac amount for that version.
