I would have said more November than October.

Already booked to go there that week, slightly cheaper than our villa but a good deal none the less.

Have just seen a deal for a late Summer holiday, villa with pool, flights in Kefalonia £540 for two people. Nice :lol:

Voltarol is a much stronger anti-inflamatory/pain killer, much stronger than Ibuprofen. It has always been on prescription only but this year is available OTC. Only downside much more expensive. I personally would rec ibuprofen for a headache/toothache but diclofenac for back/knee/muscle probs. I dont think the rubs are of much use I think sometimes its the actual massaging the joints not the ingredients that help. Side effects could be about the same as Ibuprofen, must be taken after food otherwise indigestion. Also Voltarol comes in suppository form :lol:



Rose,
Are there not long term health risk with Voltarol ?, or are they hoping they got it right this time ?

Trencher

Seems to be pretty safe, especially as its had a lot more research to enable it to be sold over the counter, but only if you fit the criteria to take it. The only problem would be stomach ulcers or stomach bleeding. Some people who have to take it long term also take something else to protect the stomach.

Dave Mac diclofenac is much, much better than Ibuprofen and it is now available over the counter. Even the rub is better than Ibuleve. Just look for its trade name of Voltarol.


Thanks Rose, In what way is Voltarol better than Ibuprofen? Performance/side effects/value?

In the season, 400 mgm of Ibuprofen twice a day. No side effects, quite cheap from our local chemist. Reduces knee swelling, and minimises pain for 2/3 hours from start of skiing. I have not percieved any effect of using the rub, Ibuleve.
