I think you mean Voltaro Retard. If so then Voltarol Retard tablets all contain the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, which is a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation.

Voltarol is a brand name of diclofenac sodium. It's classed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. Voltarol Retard can be given in a slightly higher dose because it's effect is longer lasting - either 75mg twice a day, or 100mg once a day. It can cause gastric upset, so always take it with food, and report any abdominal pain to your doctor.
