Voltarol is an anti arthritic, anti inflammatory drug which you can take in tablet form (on prescription only) or as a gel. You must not take the two together although you can use the gel in conjuncton with Ibuprofen tablets. It is essential that you take the tablets after eating, not on an empty stomach. For long term use doctors advise you to take an antacid with it like Zantac. I've taken it on and off for years with no ill effects.
