Movelat is an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving gel. Applied directly to the skin, it helps relieve muscular pain, stiffness, sprains, and strains, and can also be used for pain associated with rheumatic and non-serious arthritic conditions. Unlike traditional oral pain relief tablets, it is applied directly to the affected area.
Movelat Gel vs Voltarol - What's the difference?
Movelat Gel contains the active ingredients mucopolysaccharide polysulfate and salicylic acid, while Voltarol contains diclofenac, a potent NSAID. Voltarol is more suitable for treating more severe, acute joint pain, whereas Movelat is better suited for muscle pain and stiffness. Both products are intended for topical application.
