Medications other than those listed above may interact with Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical). Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Voltaren Emulgel Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical).

Absorption: Diclofenac gel is intended to be used on the surface of intact, uninfected skin. This minimizes the amount of diclofenac that may be absorbed into your body. Avoid covering the area with a bandage that does not allow air contact with the skin. Bandages that reduce air contact to the skin can increase the amount of medication that is absorbed. In addition, when diclofenac topical gel is used for longer than the recommended length of time, or applied to a large area of the body, enough medication may be absorbed to cause side effects similar to diclofenac that is taken by mouth.

Asthma: As with other anti-inflammatory medications, rarely, diclofenac gel can cause difficulty breathing. If you have asthma, discuss with your doctor how Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical), and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you have any unusual difficulty breathing while using Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical), contact your doctor immediately.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Some people have reported headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, and confusion while using Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical). Avoid operating motor vehicles and doing other potentially hazardous activities until you have determined the effect Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical) has on you.

Infection: Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical) may mask some of the signs of infection, such as Fever.

Stomach ulcers: If you have stomach or intestinal ulcers or a history of them, discuss with your doctor how Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Sun sensitivity: Voltaren Emulgel (Diclofenac-topical) may make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
