Can you drink alcohol if you use voltaren emulgel?
i'm using it on a sprained ankle and was told you can't drink or something.
I can only find answers to this relating to the tablets but no the gel.
What will happen if i drink after using this on my ankle? Will it swell more or something?
I'm not planning to drink much, like probably 2 - 3 standard drinks max. Not even.
I'm a girl btw
Also it says nothing about it on the box or little info sheet

Drugs.com "interactions checker" found no interactions at all. t's good that you plan to drink and hopefully behave responsibly. :-))
Voltaren Alcohol
I like the taste of alcohol (margaritas rock) I drink alcohol for social reasons and to relax I drink alcohol with friends I'm a sexy beast so I'm starring you.
Yes it's safe - only tiny amounts of diclofenac are absorbed through the skin - "The systemic absorption of Voltaren Gel (1 percent diclofenac sodium in topical gel formulation) is 94 percent less than oral diclofenac (generic for Voltaren)."
