Voltaren patch is a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is recommended for additional therapy of joint diseases, as well as for traumatic damage to soft tissues. Carrying out its action on the basis of diclofenac, it cannot be used to treat people with bronchial asthma, as well as during the period of acute respiratory viral infection and rhinitis.
Nanoplast can be used for almost any joint pain. But due to the fact that this tool has a weaker composition of active substances, it can be used only as an additional therapy. In fact, it is not able to get rid of the disease, but can only reduce pain and discomfort. Therefore, with serious pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, it is better to use Voltaren.
The treatment of joint diseases always occurs with an integrated approach. This necessarily includes the administration of oral drugs, and physiotherapeutic treatment. But special transdermal patches, such as Nanoplast and Voltaren patch, will help to improve the situation.
Nanoplast
This tool is developed using the latest discoveries in the field of nanotechnology. In fact, it is an adhesive element, on the other hand of which there is a hypoallergenic canvas. It, in turn, has a microscopic plate with magnetic nanoparticles. They are so small that they resemble magnetic powder.
The nanoplast consists of their particles of useful metals, which are able to heat the skin, improving microcirculation of blood vessels. These include:
- Rare earth metal powder.
- Nanopowder is a producer of infrared radiation.
The smallest particles of active substances begin their action immediately after contact with the epidermis. Up to this point, they must be protected with a special layer.
It is necessary to stick the described patch on dry, clean skin. In no case should there be any damage in the selected place: ulcers, wounds or pustules.
Reaching body temperature, nanocomponents begin to carry out their tasks, including:
- Blocking inflammation.
- Removing pain.
- Improving blood flow.
- Activation of lymphatic current.
- Removal of puffiness, etc.
Nanoplast is used for the following diagnoses:
- Osteochondrosis.
- Sciatica.
- Arthritis.
- Radiculitis.
- Arthrosis
- Hernia.
- Hematomas.
- Soft tissue damage (no wounds).
- Sports injuries.
On sale there are plasters of different sizes: 7×9, 9×12, 12×16. The size is selected depending on the area of the focus of pain.
After gluing to a sore spot, the patch should be stored on the skin for no more than 12 hours. It is very convenient to attach it at night. However, then it must be removed, and re-attached to the skin will be possible only after 6 hours.
The duration of therapy should not exceed 9 days.
Voltaren patch
Voltaren plaster – a tool for external use. In fact, this is a patch with a drug applied to a hypoallergenic tissue. The composition includes:
- Sodium diclofenac is one percent.
- Levomenthol.
- Propylene glycol esters of fatty acids.
- Excipients.
The adhesive layer of diclofenac is capable of exerting a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect at the site of contact with the skin. In fact, it is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, but in the dosage form of a medical patch.
Voltaren patch helps to remove pain and swelling, including after injuries. In addition, this tool helps with diagnoses such as:
- Lumbago.
- Sciatica.
- Osteoarthrosis.
- Pain with rheumatoid arthritis.
- Radiculitis.
- Tenovaginitis.
- Bursitis.
- Rheumatic diseases.
- Lesions of periarticular tissues.
The patch is glued once a day for 24 hours. In case of soft tissue damage, the course of treatment is 14 days; in the treatment of joints, therapy should be carried out for 21 days. A second course of treatment can only be prescribed by a doctor.
What common
Both remedies are transdermal patches. They are also related by the list of indications for use – both drugs are used for various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. This includes degenerative-dystrophic “sores” and the consequences of injuries.
Both funds are shown only to persons who have reached the age of 15 years. But for women who are waiting for the baby, these plasters can not be used. The effect of the active substances in their composition has not been fully studied. Extremely careful Nanoplast and Voltaren patch should be used in old age.
Comparison and how do they differ
Nanoplast and Voltaren patch, having one dosage form – patch, differ in their composition. In Voltaren, the active substance is diclofenac, that is, it is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It has a deeper effect and, in addition to pain, extinguishes inflammation inside the joint or tissues. That is, it helps in eliminating the root cause of pain.
Nanoplast is rather a general therapeutic agent. It improves blood flow and slightly relieves pain. It cannot be used as a medicine. This is just an addition to the main therapy prescribed by your doctor. Nanoplast does not eliminate the inflammatory process.
