I found the ammonia smell nauseating but my doctor, after denying ammonia is one of the ingredients, had no answer for this. The chemist at Walgreens claimed not to know, either.
Thanks

One of the inactive ingredients is "strong ammonia solution".
It contains the active ingredient, diclofenac sodium, in an opaque, white gel base. Diclofenac sodium is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder. Diclofenac sodium is a benzeneacetic acid derivative.
The inactive ingredients in Voltaren Gel include: carbomer homopolymer Type C, cocoyl caprylocaprate, fragrance, isopropyl alcohol, mineral oil, polyoxyl 20 cetostearyl ether, propylene glycol, purified water, and strong ammonia solution.

I have been researching as of why it contains ammonia and have come up empty handed.
