Voltaren is a diclofenac anti-inflammatory sold over the counter as a topical gel for joint and muscle pain. It came to the business through the Novartis consumer health joint venture and is sold as Voltarol in the United Kingdom.
GSK demerged its consumer healthcare business as Haleon, listing it in London and New York in July 2022. The business already contained Pfizer's consumer health portfolio, contributed to a joint venture in 2019, which is how Advil and Centrum came to sit alongside Sensodyne and Panadol.
