Voltaren Suppositories 50mg

Voltaren 50 is a rectal suppository containing the active ingredient Diclofenac Sodium (50 mg). It belongs to a class of drugs known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, acute gout, and lower back pain. It is also highly effective for treating postoperative pain and inflammatory conditions in children.
As an NSAID, it works by inhibiting the enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that signal pain and cause swelling at the site of injury or disease. By reducing their production, Voltaren effectively lowers pain, fever, and inflammation.

Key Benefits:
– Rapid Pain Relief
– Potent Anti-Inflammatory Action
– Alternative Route of Administration
– Effective Postoperative Management.

CAUTION: This is a prescription-only medication. It should be used with caution in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or kidney and heart disease. Do not use if you have a known allergy to aspirin or other NSAIDs (which can cause a severe reaction). Common side effects may include local irritation, headache, or dizziness. Always use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
