I have AMD (macular degeneration). Is is safe to use Voltaren salve? I have used it once so far and already felt dizzy and had sweats. Maybe not related but I want to be sure of the product.
Can Voltaren salve harm me?

Hi, grg!
Dizziness is a side effect that affects about 1-10% of users and increased sweating has been reported also.
The Drugs.com Interaction Checker doesn't list a disease interaction for macular degeneration.
As far as side effects go, they generally resolve within days to a week or two. If your symptoms persist longer than that you would want to report them to your doctor.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
