Voltarol (Diclofenac) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Voltarol?
Voltarol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) marketed for relief of musculoskeletal Pain and inflammation. It belongs to the broader group of muscle-relaxant therapies used to manage conditions such as back strain, Osteoarthritis, and sports-related injuries. The product is approved by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority and is available as an oral tablet.
Who Should Use Voltarol?
- Adults experiencing moderate to severe joint or Muscle Pain
- Individuals diagnosed with inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions
- Patients who can tolerate NSAIDs and have no history of serious gastrointestinal ulcers
How Does It Work?
Voltarol inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, the medication eases discomfort and improves joint mobility. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as higher amounts increase the risk of stomach irritation and cardiovascular effects.
Why Choose Voltarol?
Voltarol provides rapid pain relief with a well-established safety profile for short-term use, making it a trusted option for daily activity and exercise recovery. Generic diclofenac tablets offer the same clinical effect at a lower cost, while the branded version ensures consistent quality and packaging. Off-label uses should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

Reviews
First couple of days on the 100mg extended release were rough. Felt like I had a perpetual knot in my stomach. The pain from my lower back inflammation? Almost gone. But man, the dry mouth is REAL. I look like I’m constantly chewing gum just to keep things moving. User hack: take this with a full glass of milk, not just water. It buffers the gastric distress significantly. Worth it for the mobility, but the GI tract screams at me.
Been on Diclofenac for about six months for chronic knee tendonitis. It works better than celecoxib ever did, especially controlling the flare-up intensity. But you absolutely cannot skip a dose or you feel it within 12 hours. My only complaint is the weird "brain fog" feeling sometimes, like I’m moving underwater. My doctor told me no alcohol *at all*, and that's the biggest sacrifice. Also, always take it post-meal, a heavy one. Skip the hack and you risk feeling acidic for hours.
This 100mg pill is truly effective for my menstrual cramps-better than Ibuprofen ever was. The pain just stops. However, I didn't realize how much it would affect my blood pressure readings; they spiked noticeably in the first month. I now split the dosage (50mg twice a day, per my physio's advice, even though it's SR) to keep the systemic side effects milder. It's an annoying routine, but if I take the full 100mg at once, I get terrible nausea and hot flashes about three hours later.
I started Voltarol for nerve pain post-surgery. It handles the deep, burning sensation effectively, something tramadol barely touched. But I feel like I aged 10 years in terms of stomach lining fragility. Everything gives me heartburn now. My personal "hack" is to never, ever drink coffee within two hours before or after taking the pill. That combination feels like battery acid. The pill is great for pain relief, but you practically have to become a monk to avoid upsetting your GI tract.
The quick relief is amazing for my recurring sports injuries-I can get back to training faster. The downside? Sleeping has become difficult. I wake up repeatedly, around 3 AM, and feel restless. It's not insomnia exactly, more like poor sleep quality. I found that taking Magnesium Glycinate about an hour before bed helps counteract the Voltarol's sleep disruption slightly. If you have any sensitivity to NSAIDs, be careful; this is strong stuff. It clears the joint inflammation but ramps up general anxiety sometimes.
Newbie here. Took my first dose for a shoulder impingement. Worked fast, within an hour the throbbing was down 70%. But my hands are shaking a little bit. Is that normal? I feel slightly dizzy, too, like I need to sit down when I stand up too quickly. Definitely potent. I only took half the tablet-thank god-because I couldn't imagine these initial jitters on the full 100mg. Hoping the side effects fade as my body adjusts, because the pain relief is spot-on.
Takes care of my osteoarthritis beautifully. I can actually climb stairs now. It failed hard, however, when I tried to use it for a severe tension headache-actually made the headache worse, radiating from my temples. I stick to paracetamol for headaches now. Diclofenac is strictly for inflammation below the waist. Pro tip: Always keep track of your liver enzymes if you’re long-term on this. My last blood test showed a slight elevation, so I cycle off it for a week every two months.
I’ve been taking Voltarol for years for a degenerative spine condition. It’s effective, reliable, and keeps me functional. The catch? The metallic taste in my mouth never went away. It makes everything-especially water-taste weird. Only solution I found was chewing mints constantly, which is probably terrible for my teeth. I tried switching to the extended release version to minimize peaks and troughs, and that did help with the stomach issues, but the taste remains a constant annoyance.
