The Voltaren Arthritis Pain product has been launched by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as a new product for consumers looking to soothe pain caused by arthritis. The gel product comes in four tube sizes and highlights a prescription-strength formula that doesn't have any steroids in the mix to help target pain effectively without side effects. The product was previously only available to consumers by prescription from their physician.
The Voltaren Arthritis Pain is available over-the-counter now at an array of retailers in the US including Rite Aid, CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens. The product received the switch from prescription to over-the-counter in February, which will come as welcome news to those who want to access effective pain relief in an easier way.
