Voltaren Emulgel Special Precautions

Voltaren Emulgel should not be applied to an open wound (e.g. a graze or a cut) or to skin that has a rash (e.g. eczema). Voltaren Emulgel should not be applied for long periods of time over large areas of skin, unless prescribed by the doctor. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse well with cold water.
Tell the doctor or pharmacist if any discomfort persists.
Do not swallow the product.
A brace or wrap commonly used for injuries like sprains can be used but do not use under airtight (plastic) bandages.
Tell the doctor or pharmacist if the patient has had allergic reactions after using similar products (e.g. anti-rheumatism ointments), if the patient is suffering from another illness, if the patient has any allergies, or if the patient is already using any other externally applied medication (even self-medication).
If the patient or a child accidentally swallows the gel, contact the doctor immediately.
