hi guys, 

is there a difference between voltarol gel and voltaren gel.

i have a hunch they are possibly the same thing but one is for American market the other. U.K. 

Voltarol gel is what I get from the chemist in Britain even when I ask for voltaren. 

Oh no says the pharmacist you've got it wrong,this is what you are after.

Are they the same thing?

thanks

Mike

Yes , both contain diclofenac , an anti inflammatory painkiller . You can get details if you Google them . Hope this helps .
