Endo Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Voltaren 1% gel, is the sole supplier and they have released a statement that Voltaren gel is on back order and they cannot estimate a release date. Hmm. Endo also could not provide
a reason for the shortage, though
it is suspected that cross contamination problems at the plant that manufactures Voltaren gel are the culprits.
What are your options now?
1) Flector patches (diclofenac epolamine 1.3%) are still available and an option to think about.
