Description
VOLTAREN SUPP 100MG are suppositories containing diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
They are used primarily to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as postoperative pain, musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions where oral administration is not suitable.
The drug class is NSAIDs.
The mechanism of action involves inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to a decrease in the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.
The common form is suppositories, each containing 100mg of diclofenac sodium.
Dosage instructions typically involve inserting one suppository rectally, usually one to three times daily depending on the severity of the condition and as directed by a healthcare professional.
Side effects can include local irritation or discomfort at the site of administration, gastrointestinal issues, headache, dizziness, and allergic reactions. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, severe heart, liver, or kidney disease. Caution should be used in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and when taken with other medications.
