Reviews for Voltaren

"I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and also arthritis in my neck and spine. I take the 100 mg tablet, and it works just fine for me. I take it with Zantac 150 to protect my stomach. I only need 1 pill a day. If in severe pain, I will also take a muscle relaxer called Norflex, and I am able to rest and function and get much-needed relief."

"I take a combination of 50 mg Voltaren for the rheumatoid arthritis once per day and 200 mg Plaquenil for Sjögren's twice per day. I started with 100 mg Voltaren, but thought that was too much, so I had the doctor prescribe 50 mg twice per day. I just take one unless I need more."

"I have rheumatoid arthritis and was hoping Voltaren cream would help with joint pain because I can no longer take Meloxicam. Voltaren was recommended by my rheumatologist but did NOT WORK!!! Waste of my money."

"I tried Voltaren once yesterday on my knee. I used less than the 2 inches recommended. In a short time, my face turned bright red like a sunburn. I am returning this to the store and will not use it again."

"This Voltaren is a total scam! Too expensive and doesn’t work. You have control over my online reviews and can delete at will... But you cannot control my mouth, and I will give reviews every chance I get!"

"Awesome works better than any other anti-inflammatory. I couldn't walk if it weren't for them."

"The cream helps me. My knees hurt so badly in the morning I can barely walk. The Voltaren cream reduces the pain and increases my movement ability."

"Great medicine, however, it is for temporary relief. It kills pain for about 1 to 2 hours."

"The doctor prescribed me this medicine to take for a week. It helps to reduce the pain for only a short period of time. The good thing is I don't get any side effects except mild diarrhea."

"Given to me on a cruise when I had swelling in my legs, which seemed to be a circulation problem, not my rheumatoid arthritis. This had no effect on my swelling."
