Overview
Topical Pain Relief Gels and Patches
Topical pain relief products are applied directly to the skin over the painful area, delivering active ingredients locally with fewer systemic side effects than oral painkillers. They are particularly effective for localised muscle and joint pain, strains, sprains, and arthritis. Cloud Pharmacy stocks topical pain relief from trusted brands.
Important Safety Information
- Do not apply to broken skin, eyes or mucous membranes
- Wash hands after application (unless treating the hands)
- Diclofenac gel (Voltarol) is an NSAID - do not use if you have a history of stomach ulcers, aspirin-sensitive asthma, or during pregnancy
Available Treatments
Voltarol (Diclofenac) Pain-Eze Gel
Voltarol gel contains diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) applied directly to the skin over the painful area. It reduces inflammation and pain locally, making it effective for muscle and joint pain with fewer systemic side effects than oral NSAIDs.
Biofreeze Gel
Biofreeze uses menthol to provide a cooling sensation that helps relieve muscle and joint pain. It works by overriding pain signals with a cooling effect (known as the gate control theory of pain). Non-medicated and suitable for frequent use.
Deep Heat Patches/Rub
Deep Heat products provide warming relief for muscular aches and stiffness. The heat increases blood flow to the area, helping to relax tight muscles and ease discomfort.
Choosing the Right Product
Type of Pain | Recommended Treatment | How It Works |
| Inflammation-related (joint, muscle strain) | Voltarol Gel | Anti-inflammatory (NSAID) |
| Muscle ache - prefer cooling relief | Biofreeze | Menthol cooling |
| Muscle stiffness - prefer warming relief | Deep Heat | Warming, increases blood flow |
