Movelat is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel. When applied to the skin, it provides pain relief and can be used to help muscular pain, stiffness, sprains or strains and can be used on pain caused by rheumatic and non-serious arthritic conditions. Unlike traditional oral pain-relief tablets, Movelat is applied to the skin at the site of pain.
Movelat gel vs Voltarol - What's the difference?
Movelat Relief gel has the active ingredients mucopolysaccharide polysulfate and salicylic acid, whilst Voltarol contains diclofenac, a powerful NSAID. Voltarol is better suited to treat more severe acute pain for joint-specific areas, whereas Movelat is better for muscle pain and stiffness. Both should be applied topically.
