Hello, can the elderly use volteren gel to treat their arthritus and tendonitus?

Yes: surely. That's what the drug is for. Short term it's very safe. Be careful long term, especially if your liver or kidneys are not healthy

Defintely: voltaren (diclofenac) gel is very useful for athritis and other inflammatory conditions directly on the area. It also does not irritate the stomach It is very useful for the elderly
