Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this mix up with her medications. 100g of voltarene is a high dose for her but would not necessarily cause a side effect. With glycerin administered, she may easily pass a bowel movement thus reducing greatly what amount of it would be absorbed into the body. Stay calm, monitor her closely and report any abnormal symptom or observations to her doctor for immediate action.

I hope this helps. I wish her well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
