How Does Voltarol Work? The active ingredient in Voltarol is Diclofenac Diethylammonium. Diclofenac belongs to group of medicines called NSAID'S (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) which help to relieve pain & inflammation.

Diclofenac works by blocking the actions of these prostaglandins, reducing the discomfort & inflammation.
